Sounds good to me. > Wouldn't that mess up with guix's authentication mechanism? If we branch = v1.2 early, our release will have no forward path to master, so all our use= rs will get an error when running guix pull. I think the authentication mechanism starts at a fixed point for new users/installs (i.e. no previous 'guix pull'). --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQFDBAEBCgAtFiEEu7At3yzq9qgNHeZDoqBt8qM6VPoFAl+Qp7APHG1hcml1c0Bn bnUub3JnAAoJEKKgbfKjOlT6vW4H/iZAITtkZa8HUjnXLgpjBH9IEXqLxn0Ww9el k8ggaels2tq03qwBFZKGW5/IF6Z/rLFNeduTm9mRPMUD6jbNiXmV+51dsHD7vOHH M3MK9sqpnjqlfKak9jMsSeu6IWGU4gr7HeCCxwjkGw+ZDsJ9jSkliNGpUHcNOlsV I4C1gHVpppsC/vkAIXu+itvtr7uP8870GeAs0U22UNZUgf00A7L7UNftPGm6WO1X PNQ7G6O3RHKp5lhxRE/z/ajP+3ATfsD8AQnmonFN8aC5TXtXMOnA/QJU0+tqCMpe 21GX9myOKx+YUxYhxmpXnjjrprr1PQGDvBg4G3xw4XFsi0LpGRg= =F3HI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
