I’m closing this bug.  Please reopen it if you think commits ef80ca9 and
54e515e did not fix it.

bug#20239: [wishlist] Add build hook to build for other platforms using qemu

The interested hacker can look at (guix scripts offload) for an example
of such a build hook.  Build hooks are started by the daemon; they
receive build requests on stdin, which they can accept, reject, or

bug#19805: Numpy failures

2015-09-11 Thread Ludovic Courtès

The suggestion about propagating the #:substitutable? flag at
 remains valid,
but it’s a separate issue.
