Starting from the previous image, they build a new one, replacing it. I like this way of doing things, as this produces an always up to date image (with its drawbacks). As you can see, this process might break from time to time, but is not frequent https://builds.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/refresh/guix The scripts are rather simple: https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/builds.sr.ht/tree/master/item/images/guix >> ps.
