No it’s not. Because Guix is about reproducibility, package recipes must specify the exact source code that they expect, hence this ‘sha256’ field. That said, if you want to simply use a different source code tarball without bothering, you can do: guix build emacs --with-source=./emacs-24.5.xyz.tar.gz (info "(guix) Invoking guix build") HTH, Ludo’.
