Yes, I’ve made it 12 hours now. :-) It shouldn’t be too expensive: there’s one derivation per tarball disarchive and very few of them get rebuilt between subsequent evaluations; disarchive-collection.drv depends on all of them. However, I think the current model of Cuirass means that those intermediate derivations aren’t retrieved on berlin so we’re potentially building things multiple times? >> 2.

I was planning on retrieving the derivation file name in the mcron job using the (guix ci) API, but having a build product may simplify things a bit. Thanks for your feedback! Ludo’.
