Hi Ludo,

That's indeed the main problem and here as elsewhere, it is often a
topic of heated arguments.
My point of view (long form:

is that software projects should adopt a

The problem is not how I update my scripts - I can manage that, no

When the target machine has no signing keys (generated with “guix
archive --generate-key”) the source machine issuing “guix offload test”
will print this confusing error message:
guix offload: error: implementation cannot deal with > 32-bit integers

This is not a bad idea, especially considering that “guix environment”
was meant to get shebang support, so that you could use it as the
interpreter in a script that handles the environment configuration.
It is also shorter.

Hello Guix!
It’s high time for us to provide a means to authenticate Git checkouts.
It’s not clear what the perfect solution will be, so in the meantime I
think we need to have reasonable milestones that incrementally improve
the situation.
To begin with, I propose the attached script: when given

I do not see this as feelings, but as strategy. That’s what the article
is about: Many small breakages add up, and repeated changes to

Hi Arne,
First, do not take me wrong, I am not "fighting" or not going to an
"heated debate".
I am fine and I hope you are also fine.
As I said my opinion in other emails, I am not repeating here. Well, I
am not convinced it is the good one, but as I trust collective power,
I am sure Guix will fin
Hi Ludo,
To be honest, I do not clearly understand what the issue is concretely
about. So I am probably out-of-scope and/or irrelevant.
One milestone could be to have Git tags and "guix pull" would 'jump'
between these tags. For an end-user like me, tags ease:

I have a patch updating postgis as well as many other packages in
