Hello Florian,

thank you for your reply.

These variants don't seem to be usable in my case, since line offsets often 
change within those files.  Even the link to web.scm on 
https://guix.gnu.org/packages/monolith-2.6.1/ is wrong, since it links the 
latest version of the file and not the one that was used during the build.

I'm honestly very puzzled by the format of the URLs on that website, I don't 
think I've seen that before on any other site that lists packages.  E.g. 
https://guix.gnu.org/packages/monolith-2.6.1/ should ideally be 
https://guix.gnu.org/packages/monolith/ with perhaps 
https://guix.gnu.org/packages/monolith/2.6.1/ to target specific version.  
Otherwise there's no way to be sure the URL will be available once the new 
release is out.  Even .../monolith-latest/ would work, but currently I see no 
way to link to GUIX's website from my Readme file, and I believe that's the 
only one I can't do out of close to 10 different ways of obtaining the 
pre-built software for various platforms.

Is there any way you could reach out to somebody who maintains the packages 
section of the website for guix, or just let me know who I should talk to to 
propose this improvement?

Kindly,
Sunshine
