I think that should be part of the tooling we need to ease the "release process". I mean, that's what I have tried to describe as one starting point at the BoF discussion: tools that help to know how is the shape of Guix at one point in time (via scripts and repl or via commands and options) and then time-machine does the rest. What is currently missing (from my little experience): - check reproducibility - check size - check substitutes per build system, list the "essentials" (the ones we *absolutly* want to be substituable), maybe per groupes by topics > Chris: does the Data Service track store item sizes (and more generally > everything =E2=80=98query-path-info=E2=80=99 returns)?
