It is likely that you already have enabled bordeaux. Using a substitute server requires two things: That guix-daemon or alternatively each guix command be started with --substitute-urls='https://url_of_substitute_server'. bordeaux is enabled by default here according to the manual. (Although it can be disabled in config.scm.) That the substitute server is authorized, i.e. that /etc/guix/acl contains its public key. For bordeaux, that is (public-key (ecc (curve Ed25519) (q #7D602902D3A2DBB83F8A0FB98602A754C5493B0B778C8D1DD4E0F41DE14DE34F#) ) ) It is likely that your /etc/guix/acl contains these lines already. If not, doing a full text search for bordeaux (i.e. typing /bordeaux in `info guix.de`) says that the lines can be added by running as root the command guix archive --authorize < \ ~root/.config/guix/current/share/guix/bordeaux.guix.gnu.org.pub However this assumes that you have run `guix pull` as root before, otherwise the path needs to be changed to your user name sudo guix archive --authorize < \ ~yourusername/.config/guix/current/share/guix/bordeaux.guix.gnu.org.pub > could not a developer of guix add options: > > 1. that we are warned about it (that a substitue is not available at the > moment) > 2. that there are options to cancel upgrading one ore more packages > 3. that approx. so much time it needs to build the source of a package (if > that is possible) > 4. a question, if I want to use a different substitute server, and if yes > 5. an info if on that different substitute server this substitute is > available, > 6. and if not, to cancel this ore more specific package to upgrade. > > Guixers could still add other options, which I am not aware of it at the > moment. These are difficult questions and similar questions have been asked in the past, for example https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2021-11/msg00129.html I think there is no consensus on what this should look like. > Do guix developers read our questions or do we have to send it to a specific > email address? > > Gottfried Some developers read help-guix, some read only guix-devel, some read the #guix IRC chat, and there is too much mail to read everything.
