Why reproducibility is breaking by metadata?

2019-07-02 Thread znavko
Hello, Guix Help! I am translating Guix manual and found that the author is entirely given to reproducibility. It leads to such phrases that metadata breaks reproducibility when he describes '--save-provenance' flag of 'guix pack' command here: 'This option is not enabled by default because,

Hi, I am trying to install a non-packaged piece of software, [[ https://nomacs.org/][nomacs]]. It seems that through the paradigm of Guix, this is to be done with ~guix package~ rather than with ~make~ etc. Or, put differently, to install an application which is not in the package repos, I need

Fwiw, I'm currently installing Guix manually from the boot ISO with hetzner's VPSs. You just have to ask them to make the ISO available as one of the boot ISOs. Don't know if that is more convenient than installing from another distro though? Alex Reza Alizadeh Majd writes: > Thanks for your
