Is it an idea to also have a current Guix archive on the download page? Or at least a link to one?
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/download/ Ever so often I need to rescue a running Guix system which won't run guix pull and even a build-from-source quickly. Being able to do guix archive --import < guix-latest.nar or something similar would be rather convenient. Now I am packing my own archive from a VM because my systems won't build a recent tree and guix pull requires guile-git which won't build in turn. It is one of those days that I look to either pack guix or have a long slog of building just to get going again... With a downloadable archive, and with the recent improvement of guix pull, I think anyone can rescue quickly any guix daemon and build system. The key term is: convenience. Pj.
