Re: pulling from my personal channel only - is this possible ?

[Andreas Reuleaux]

Hm - maybe I did not make myself clear [?]. Ideally I would have
something like this (I am exaggerating):

./channels.scm 
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(cons (channel
       (name 'my-stuff)
       (url "git://git.a-rx.info/channel")
       (introduction
        (make-channel-introduction
         "..."
         (openpgp-fingerprint
          "...")
         ))

       )

      ;; tata !!
      
%default-channels-dont-bother-pulling-but-use-as-from-last-pull-and-already-on-my-computer
  )
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


I.e. while developing (and pulling from my own channel frequently):
don't spend 53s each time, and then - once in a while - pull from both channels.



Thanks,
  -A
