Yeah, I agree it will be visually polluting. :-)
Well, this patch set exposes the concern about reproducibility and some
package transformation. Therefore, it could be addressed and discussed
separately since it is unique to this --with-version.
A first idea. :-)
Maybe, this warning could appears the first time the transformation is
called; similarly as “guix shell --check”.
Or if we want to be really stringent, the first time of transformation
calling, we simply raise ad message explaining it will not be
reproducible, ask an Yes/No “I understand the risk”, store the result in
a cache. This makes sure the information is spread.
However, it could be annoying when launching in some non-interactive
mode. The trick would be to set this cache but that’s not super handy.
Bah, it needs more thoughts. :-)
Cheers,
simon
