…b8c73efed126 2599655 guix: bump time-machine to f0bb724211872cd6158fce6162e0b8c73efed126 (fanquake) Pull request description: Includes: LLVM 18.1.x (#30201) GCC 13.x (#29881) git-minimal 2.41.0 -> 2.45.1 Kernel Headers 6.1.80 -> 6.1.92 moreutils 0.68 -> 0.69 Commits like https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=7b0f145802f0c2c785014293d748721678fef824, which should improve the bootstrap situation (#30042). This can somewhat be visualised by comparing the (simplified) dependencies of guix itself, between the two time-machines. Master:  PR:  Note that in the case of this PR, we are better off, no-longer having to build a number of tex packages, ruby, cairo, graphics libs, openssl 1.x etc. ACKs for top commit: TheCharlatan: ACK 2599655 Tree-SHA512: 9c5675a5d563c17744c89c8a392bc7865aa1c9e71a5e3044c23f31e51458dac28c0c238d2055c86dc732df595dae60bcbc8b85266b23b7991c4c770d56f7d23a

The minimum guix closure contains X11 libraries, graphviz, as well as LaTeX and associated fonts. They should be unnecessary for minimum set of packages needed to build. Especially on slower CPUs (eg current RISC-V cores, qemu) it results in a large slowdown, it's also bad from a "minimum trusted set" point of view.
They're pulled in by
guix-manual, as well as sometimes, package-specific documentation. Unfortunately, documentation is not behind an optional flag at the moment so there's nothing we can do at our build system level. Ourmanifest.scmalready contains nothing that depends on them, and they're not part of our build environment.Upstream issues about it (will update when i come across more):
