`guix locate`[1] exists, but it only works for packages you have somehow downloaded. [1]: https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Invoking-guix-locate.html

Re: Add external data to a package

A lot of objects can be ungexp-ed into a gexp to substitute in its store path. ``s are one of them: ```scheme (define WSRT_Measures (origin (method url-fetch) (uri "[...not sure I can disclose...]/WSRT_Measures.ztar") (sha256 (base32 "1d9qlcmkpsnw8wm7sidp17iwd2d771nsgjwwp568886g5f

Re: Cargo build process failed with `failed to get `ahash` as a dependency`

For Helix specifically, a (afaik not completely de-blobbed) package is available at :) Not sure about your error though. In general, build scripts for Guix packages cannot access the internet.

I investigated this a bit more: * issue is reproduced with <=4 cpus on the VM; apparently it does not occur if there are more cpus * (current-cpu-count) is 1 within the worker thunk on affected setups, but it's not affected in cuirass-remote-worker

Cuirass remote worker is stuck building with 1 core

I noticed that the Cuirass remote worker in my channel-building VM only builds things with 1 core, despite me having configured Guix to use multiple cores per build. # Reproduction instructions On a multi-core QEMU VM running Guix System with a Cuirass setup, run the following command: ``` cu
