Why is it an issue if the manual is substituted? > We could perhaps choose a more meaningful version string, though, maybe > by looking at the closest tag or something. For example, when I pull I have something like: /gnu/store/…-guix-1b2141743-modules.drv so why this commit ID could not be reused in the manual? For example, the devel version of the manual contains the commit ID, see [1]. 1: https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/guix.html#The-Store All the best, simon ps: Sorry Ludo for the double sending, I missed the "reply all".
