Hi, I recently learned about guix and I haven't found any information on approaching deterministic builds by changing library and kernel functions to have deterministic behavior. Has anybody done this?
For example, I would imagine if I needed timestamps to no longer be a factor, I might change how the current time is reported to the build environment, such that it is always precisely equal to the time of last modification of the source package. Similarly /dev/*random should return deterministic numbers seeded by perhaps the hash of the source package and all dependencies. Has there been a discussion of this somewhere?
