The effort saves ~230MiB of download, did once. And for multi-users context, it often means a sysadmin is around. So, the first pull could done with: guix pull --url=/home/simon/src/guix where the path is a shared local repo created by the sysadmin. Well, it could be imagined that the root repo is under say /var/guix/checkouts/ and then if ~/.cache/guix/checkouts does not exist, it tries first to clone from this local repo. For sure, it is better the planet. ;-) All the best, simon
