When running "guix refresh -u some-package" downloads the package to 
update the hash. But the source is not added to the store, Thus when 
running "guix build some-package", the source will be downloaded again.

I'd like to have an option to make "guix refresh" add teh source to the 
store, so it is already available for "guix build".

Unless I’m missing something, the source *is* added to the store; see
the ‘download-to-store’ call in (guix upstream).

Could you double-check?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
