Proper use of `guix build X --rounds=2`

2024-02-18 Thread Skyler Ferris
Hello, Checking a package for reproducibility is one important part of patch review. Based on the documentation for the `--rounds=N`, I expect that a line such as `guix build foo --rounds=2` will build the package at least once and at most twice (assuming that, if the output is already present
