Currently `guix pull` downloads a 10.2 MiB tarball. Just food for thought ;)Heh. AIUI, the patch simply removes files; it’s more space-efficient and clearer to do it in a ‘snippet’.
The idea is actually to revert the deletion (of the test files).Instead of including the 'revert' patch taking up space, I sourced the patch from GitHub as a native-input and applied it in reverse, and pushed this series.
Thanks for picking this up. ben
