Pinning package inputs using inferiors?

ts. My questions are: 1. Is my above use of inferiors always doomed, or something we code make work with changes to Guix core? 2. Is there another way of handling the situation elegantly without using inferiors or duplicating package definitions at module scope. Any advice or comments gladly received! Cheers, Phil.

Parallel guix builds can trample?

ever been reported like this that people are aware of? Have other people ran multiple builds in Guix under one account at the same time without issue? Any advice on how trap the issue, given it's hard to reproduce? The problem as never been seen when we do each guix build in serial. Apologies for the long and rather circumstantial e-mail!

Guix Scripts and Unit Testing

in a separate file which can import procedures used in repl or manifest scripts in such a way that they still work or can be used as repl or manifest scripts themselves?

Maven Build System Dependency Issue

Hi Guixers, First let me say I'm a Maven novice, so it's possible I'm doing something dumb on the Maven side of things. I'm unable to make a bare-bones Maven project build in Guix. This looks to be a problem with mismatched dependencies in Guix around java-commons-codec. I suggest what probably
