Maybe I am missing something. To my knowledge, .go files produced by Guile are not always reproducible, see bug#20272 [1]. And, from my understanding, Guix cannot be reproducible until this bug had been fixed. Therefore, I am not convinced that this patch is worth under this frame considering the build-time penalty it brings. That’s said, maybe it’s better than nothing and the package ’guix’ is barely built after all. I do not know. What people think? Cheers, simon 1: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/20272
