Isn't there any dependence? Is this documented somewhere? Guix-the-package-manager works on the top of any Linux distro and the packages from Guix are defined by the Guix revision (guix describe). For one specific Guix revision, build and run the packages on the top of Arch should be exactly the same as build and run the packages on the top of Debian. Well, that what others had answered. :-) I just want to add that the assumption to make it happen is about kind of =E2=80=9Cstability=E2=80=9D of Linux kernel. The machine using Arch run= s one Linux kernel, not necessary at the same version and/or compiled with the same tools as the other machine using Debian. The assumption is that this variation of the Linux kernel does not have any influence =E2=80=93 bit-to-= bit reproducibility speaking =E2=80=93 on building the packages. Well, the corner cases are really really really rare that I do not remember such reproducibility issue or even just know one case. :-) Cheers, simon
