<Kabouik>Back from holidays flypaper-ultimat, I see your message now. Thanks! Starred channel-solver and I will look into it more. <Kabouik>flypaper-ultimat: catching up with the backlog slowly. I've tried that command that you recommended and which I think would be very useful to users around me: "guix time-machine <stuff> -- shell --pure r-minimal r-ggplot2 <stuff> -- $(which rstudio)" but it fails with missing libraries: https://0x0.st/8EZG.txt I guess it's still a complicated issue, running a package from the current profile and making it interact with a guix time-machine/shell. <Kabouik>You'll see that I use `environment --ad-hoc` there instead of `shell` because of the old commit, and I also tried with `--pure` as you advised but it resulted in the same. <Kabouik>After that I checked channel-solver a bit more. First of all, thanks a lot for this, I think it could cover that gap when people want to *try* reproducing old computationonal stacks from a period when they were not using Guix or even trying to make their environment reproducible. As we discussed above, there's an usecase for that, but hopefully at some point people will get used to making a channels.scm and manifest.scm for their new projects. <Kabouik>First question: would it be possible to support short git hashes? They just seem easier to find depending on the git tools we use to browse the history and find a target hash. <Kabouik>channel-solver works if I use the initial commit from your repo, so presumably there was a breaking commit
