I recall 'guix pull' downloading and building a lot of packages, and even recall that command erroring out due to ftp.gnu.org (or some similar site) being temporarily unavailable so I worry the above is not complete. I don't know the details though, so this could be based on some old experience. Sometimes substitution servers aren't reachable, or (as is common for riscv64) complete, too. /Simon
