Hi,
Most packages are reproducable, and should get you the exact same docker
image file.
https://qa.guix.gnu.org/reproducible-builds
As far as I know, it is possible, that source code is no longer
available and unreachable (There might be something already for long
term storage, but that I do not know), then the image might not
build. Or there might be tests that depend on time for some reason.
Hope that helps.
