Mostly, yes (“mostly” because derivations using “builtin:git-download” will automatically be fixed once we’ve updated the ‘guix’ package, but that only helps if you’re traveling to after September 2023 (commit 13b0cf85eb31e1b1ea674debbbfb0f35a32d1374). > For instance, redoing your ReScience paper from 2020 using only SWH as I > did [1] some months ago is now broken (because a change on SWH side). Indeed. :-/ That’s a real bummer, but that’s the nature of software: we cannot retroactively fix bugs. > Well, I am fine to keep this bug closed but for the posterity we need > something like: > > guix swh get -C channels.scm -m manifest.scm Exactly! We have the demonstration of just how important that is. Ludo’.
