Dear, Recently, we discovered a regression in the Haskell build system: introducing unreproducible builds. Well, it was a kind of luck: I was testing ’git-annex’ with the willing to have ’git-annex-assitant’ building it several times (--check) [1]. Aside this particular issue, ~10% of packages a

Hey! Welcome! And thank you for your interest in Guix. Have you currently running Guix? If no, the easiest is to start with the package manager [1] using the shell script installer (first Red note in [1] :-)). The package manager works on any GNU/linux distribution and is not in conflict with
