So it’s really this “building profile” part that takes 5mn, right?
Could you share the output of ‘guix package --export-manifest’ (or ‘guix
package -I’)? You can share it privately if you prefer not to make it
public.
On a 5yo SSD, and with 300+ packages in my profile, this part usually
takes a few seconds. But it could be that for some packages, in
particular packages with lots of propagated inputs, this operation takes
longer.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
