Hello Guix Help List, I according to :
https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Invoking-guix-archive.html It is expected that a `nar' archive is self contained. --recursive When combined with --export, this instructs guix archive to include dependencies of the given items in the archive. Thus, the resulting archive is self-contained: it contains the closure of the exported store items. But I cannot get it to work. You can find below steps that I use to reproduce the unexpected behaviour. How to make it work ? Thank you, phf Table of Contents ───────────────── 1. `example' cannot be installed from a `nar' archive without network access. 2. `example' package definition 1 `example' cannot be installed from a `nar' archive without network access. ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ `example.scm' is a package definition. ┌──── │ https://paste.debian.net/1224285/ └──── The package `example' is installed. ┌──── │ guix package --install-from-file=packages/example.scm └──── `example-1.0.nar' is an archive built from the `example' package. ┌──── │ guix archive --export -r /gnu/store/fvdl3p26dyzfr6a7y9sa4wzw1fj9s488-example-1.0 > example-1.0.nar └──── `example' is purged from the `store'. ┌──── │ guix remove example │ guix package --delete-generations │ guix gc └──── `example' package is imported from `example-1.0.nar'. ┌──── │ guix archive --import < ./example-1.0.nar └──── `example' cannot be installed from a `nar' archive without network access. ┌──── │ $ nmcli device disconnect enp1s0 │ $ guix install /gnu/store/fvdl3p26dyzfr6a7y9sa4wzw1fj9s488-example-1.0 │ guix install: erreur : some substitutes for the outputs of derivation │ `/gnu/store/i6d2vz93mfnfy2x7x2g98c55cv966k71-texinfo-6.7.drv' failed (usually happens │ due to networking issues); try `--fallback' to build derivation from source └──── 2 `example' package definition ══════════════════════════════ ┌──── │ $ tree --charset ascii example │ example │ |-- configure │ `-- Makefile └──── `configure' ┌──── │ https://paste.debian.net/1224286/ └──── `Makefile' ┌──── │ https://paste.debian.net/1224287/ └────
