For my case, that sounds OK. There are no substitutes for that three-year old commit any more, so I am building everything. And I don't care about bit-for-bit equivalence, I just want to run Python 3.8.2. > Though, I'm not sure it will help you here because openssl is built as > part of the `guix time-machine`'s build process, which afaik cannot be > transformed.

I tried, but it doesn't work: Guix itself complains about a certificate failure if I set the clock three years back. Maybe "guix time-machine" should have an option for setting the clock to the commit timestamp just for the build process... Cheers, Konrad.
