Derivations for the sources use the ‘guile’ package from Guix, and ‘guix download’ uses whatever Guile was found when Guix was configured. I think we’ll apply the patch Cyril provided, but it may be that Guile 2.0.10 will be out before we merge ‘core-updates’, in which case things will be even simpler. Ludo’.
