Yes (even with current =E2=80=98master=E2=80=99), but it=E2=80=99s quite he=
avyweight since you
end up recompiling all of Guix.

Would =E2=80=98guix package --manifest=E2=80=99 suffice?  Perhaps along wit=
h =E2=80=98guix pull
--commit=3DXXX=E2=80=99?

In the not-too-distant future I think we can add some sort of manifest
support for =E2=80=98guix pull=E2=80=99 such that you can store the list of=
 channel URLs
and commit IDs in one file and instantiate that.
