Hi Leo,
Understood, and this level of scrutiny is actually an encouraging sign that
Guix has standards! 😄
I am happy enough to have it this way for my personal use for now. Later, when
I have more time, let me revisit.
I have not experimented with this yet but I also understand I can create a
separate repository as well. Maybe that will also do😄
Regards,
Yasu
