With the discussion on IRC following your message, I ended up going back to the solution that appends /2.22 to the GUIX_LOCPATH entries automatically: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.guix.devel/12004 We’ll settle on that and declare the problem solved now. :-) Sorry for the hesitations. It’s one of these situations where we have conflicting principles: simplifying the users lives, and remaining close to what upstream does. Ludo’.
