Hello!

I made friends at work when I told them we could provide an RPM for any
modern package to install on their old RPM-based distro.  :-)

However, installing those RPMs takes a lot of time.  For example,
installing the RPM for ‘gmsh’ (closure: 596 MiB; thousands of files)
takes ~45mn.

Is there something about the metadata generated by (guix rpm) that could
be improved, or are we hitting some limitation of the RPM format or
implementation?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Hi,

It's been more than half a year and the note hasn't reached our
manual. With time passing, this is becoming less and less relevant given
yum was already alias to from dnf in Fedora 37.

Closing.

Thanks,
