Subject: [bug#69291] [PATCH 2/5] scripts: substitute: Allow not using with-timeout in download-nar.

From: Christopher Baines <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 20 Feb 2024 19:42:24 +0000

I don't think the approach of using SIGALARM here for the timeout will work
well in all cases (e.g. when using Guile Fibers), so make it possible to avoid
this.

* guix/scripts/substitute.scm (download-nar): Pass the fetch timeout in as an
option.
