Hi,

Oh okay, it didn't really seem to work in my tree - yet another argument
for merging it, in order to unify it :)

I think it would be great if at some point we could somehow encode
version constraints for dependencies in guix packages, as even if one
were to properly package a bunch of npm packages, figuring out whether
one can safely upgrade one of them without breaking any of the
dependents would be quite a hassle (or would need to involve running a
lot of builds to see whether they fail).
Kind regards,
pinoaffe
