Thanks for 7636c49b45adb9870cf416c64bde032ec858a820 and its parent
commit!

For the record, there are two remaining issues:

  1. Reproducibility of past revisions.  If we lose copies of the
     auto-generated tarballs, then OpenJDK in past revisions of Guix is
     irreparably lost.  We should check whether/how to get them in
     Disarchive + SWH.

  2. Mercurial/SWH bridge.  While SWH has a one-to-one mapping with Git
     (you can ask it for a specific Git commit ID), that’s not true for
     hg.  This is a more general problem, but as things are today,
     there’s no automatic SWH fallback if the upstream hg server
     vanishes.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
