This will download only the source at the current Guix.

Well, I would like to 1. stress disarchive to evaluate how its database
disarchive-db scales, and 2. have a number about the size of all
tarballs that Guix is able to reach (say post 1.0).

Cool!

Maybe a Berlin or Bayfront sysadmin could list all the tarballs files in
the store and publish this file.  Then I could use “guix download” to
fetch all of them.


All the best,
