Hm - maybe I did not make myself clear [?]. Ideally I would have
something like this (I am exaggerating):
./channels.scm
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(cons (channel
(name 'my-stuff)
(url "git://git.a-rx.info/channel")
(introduction
(make-channel-introduction
"..."
(openpgp-fingerprint
"...")
))
)
;; tata !!
%default-channels-dont-bother-pulling-but-use-as-from-last-pull-and-already-on-my-computer
)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I.e. while developing (and pulling from my own channel frequently):
don't spend 53s each time, and then - once in a while - pull from both channels.
Thanks,
-A
