Subject: “guix deploy” doesn’t build all
 derivations remotely
Date: Sat, 25 Feb 2023 22:49:07 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I’m running “guix deploy deploy.scm” on a x86_64 host.  The deploy.scm
file looks like this:

[deploy.scm (application/octet-stream, inline)]

[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

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:

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'
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

It is also of note that a build of this derivation is attempted even
though it has successfully been built on the target machine.
