Hullo,

What did you think of having ‘--log-file’ transparently fall back to
searching for log files on substitute servers?
I find it handy, but also wondered if it might surprise users that such
a trivially-looking option connects to external servers.
It would pleasantly surprise me :-)
(...well, not really ‘surprise’ — just more Guixy network-transparent
goodness.)
TBH, I don't see the difference between this & all other actions that
already connect to external servers.
Is this different? Will it ignore ’--no-substitutes’, or ping servers
outside of user-approved substitute-urls? Does it need to?
I thought about having it print something when it does so.
Like a progress bar? Seems more eye-catching than yet another warning.
Or something more permanent in/next to the downloaded log?
Kind regards,
