Hello,

when grafting texlive-texmf on my Novena, the build times out after an hour,
even when I add "--timeout=70000". This is even more annoying since the
package cannot be substituted any more.

What about if you also set --max-silent-time=70000?

$ guix build --help
[...]
--max-silent-time=SECONDS
                   mark the build as failed after SECONDS of silence
--timeout=SECONDS  mark the build as failed after SECONDS of activity
[...]

Right, you need this flag as well.

Also, you might consider cherry-picking commit
b79cf93ff6d1588adf4a606800ff381d4af4e052 from the
'wip-graft-improvements' branch, which speeds up grafting considerably.
I've been using it on my own systems for a few months.

If you’re confident, I would suggest merging it.  Or is there something
that makes it undesirable?

Thanks,

My bad, with the additional option everything works. Thanks!

I wonder if having only one time-out option would not be clearer?
