I don't know of a better way, myself. Guix insists on running the tests. We've talked about ways we might be able to relax that restriction [1], but for now it seems difficult to do. In addition, if substitutes are more frequently available and you have authorized them, then it isn't as big of a problem. In the meantime, modifying packages can be a good work-around. In the case of a package that gets used by many other packages, it would be difficult because you would want to replace practically every reference (maybe less, if you only need a few packages). An intrepid hacker might be able to whip something up by using (guix discovery), though. Hope that helps! Footnotes: [1] https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2018-04/msg00071.html -- Chris
