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

I noticed using --keep-failed implies that offloading is disabled. For
development of GNU Guix I offload all compilation from my laptop to a
powerful server, not having offload with --keep-failed makes it
troublesome to debug issues.

I don't know if it's easy to implement but would be nice to download
the temporary build directory along with all dependents at the end of
the build instead of disabling offloading.

What do you think?

Thank you

One could check whether the build tree can be retrieved from (guix
scripts offload); it might be inconvenient, but probably doable.

Thanks,
