Subject: Attempt to graft texlive times out after one hour

On my i686 Libreboot X60, two consecutive attempts to run "guix package
-u" have failed with the following message:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
grafting '/gnu/store/i8iiv9qd1jndwxxr2h563fwwn0997xkx-cups-2.0.1' -> '/gnu/store/nrdr51fkncjm5nqkx70576g25l4ka5na-cups-2.0.1'...

I guess that my machine and rotating disk are too slow to graft texlive
within an hour.

Apart from that, there are a few specific problems:

* It never notified me that it was grafting texlive.  Are those messages
  not printed until after the grafts have completed?

* I later discovered the --timeout option for 'guix build' (also
  supported by 'guix package') but the manual claims that "By default
  there is no timeout".  This seems to be incorrect.

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

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