This is a known issue. See https://issues.guix.gnu.org/32261. And a propose= d patch in https://issues.guix.gnu.org/40266 (I haven't checked what it doe= s). > Shall we remove the version part `-x.y.x` from the URL? Is it really enough to just remove the version? Aren't both "packagename" a= nd "package-name-x.y.z" impermanent? Because packages get removed from Guix= too, not just versions, right? So, it is not clear to me whether issue #32261 is asking for URL paths for = every package in the latest revision of GNU Guix, regardless of their imper= manence from revision to revision, or asking for permanent URL paths to eve= ry package that has been available in GNU Guix history, regardless of wheth= er the package is currently available or not. If it is the latter, where co= uld one get a historical registry of all the packages? From the Guix Data S= ervice, maybe?
