“guix deploy” doesn’t build all derivations remotely
(address . bug-guix@gnu.org)
87ttz9if8m.fsf@elephly.net
I’m running “guix deploy deploy.scm” on a x86_64 host. The deploy.scm
file looks like this:
The target machine architecture is aarch64-linux, and the x86_64 host
cannot offload to any aarch64-linux machines. The machine declaration
has the “build-locally?” property set to #false. The manual says:
‘build-locally?’ (default: ‘#t’)
If false, system derivations will be built on the machine
being deployed to.
Not all derivations are built on the target machine, though:
Toggle snippet (24 lines)
$ guix deploy deploy.scm
The following 1 machine will be deployed:

These are the contents of the build log:

while setting up the build environment: a `aarch64-linux' is required to build `/gnu/store/4cpy9hlikcqddydl5dh02lnxdqn67nzb-linux-libre-arm64-generic-with-midi-6.1.13.drv', but I am a `x86_64-linux'
It is also of note that a build of this derivation is attempted even
though it has successfully been built on the target machine.
