Hi,

Thanks for the notification.

So it would break the “guix time-machine”, right?

There is 2 solutions:

 1- trust the future Tarball Heritage [1]
 2- switch to git-fetch all the ELPA packages.

About #2, I am confused by this quote:

        If you can work from the elpa.git instead, then you'll avoid
        those problems (but the content is slightly different, so it
        might be less convenient).
