Well, this being on the safe side has turned out to be quite the
adventure...


So, I attempted that in the newish wip-guile-ssh-0.16 branch, but
getting test suite failures even without the guile-ssh patches, so hard
to test that guix copy works...

Tried updating guix to bd6d76b7a....

The test suite failues are a bit long, but in case this short clip helps...

Is this at least the right approach? e.g. point guix at a commit where
guile-ssh is updated? Is there anything special with the revision? As
you can see from the wip-guile-ssh-0.16 branch, I tried revision "0.1"
and then switched back to "0" ... (fearing clobbering a real-world "1"
revision someday...). I pushed a wip branch just to be able to easily
pull to a commit not on master... as I don't know how to do that
locally.

Presuming I can get guix to build successfully, do i then need to
reconfigure the systems to use a guix-daemon with guile-ssh on both?
... and then run "guix copy" between the two systems?


live well,
