Oh okay, it didn't really seem to work in my tree - yet another argument for merging it, in order to unify it :) > Ultimately, Guix will somehow need to deal with the messy versioning > of the NPM world, and it would be nice to keep the duplication to a > minimum, but that seems like it might be a challenge. 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).
