Subject: bug#67532: “make check” requires network

Hi Ludo,

This bug report is independent with the recommendation for building
Guix.  I consider this current behaviour as a bug:  Network on,

    guix shell <whatever-options> -D guix
    ./bootstrap
    ./configure    

then network off,
    
    make check

fails.  I do not mind if the data (pre-seed the store) has to be
downloaded at “guix shell -D guix” step, or at ./bootstrap step or at
./configure step.

It would be better to have all the requirements downloaded with “guix
shell -D guix” though.  Well, it was that my expectation just before
preparing my offline day. :-)

Therefore, this is not a fix for this bug #67532, IMHO.

Maybe for bug#66537 (see below).

Well, let discuss that as an answer of,

        bug#66537: [PATCH] doc: Recommend building in ‘guix shell -CPW’.
