I think it is — I see one entry in the acl file, but since it's a hash I don't know how to confirm that it represents the much shorter hash found in the source machine's signing-key.pub file. >> Side question — why is it building Libreoffice from source on “guix >package -i libreoffice”?

That's good — I can do that. I'm not really familiar with git yet — how can I determine the commit representing the point in time before Vitro broke and pull it? And how do I go back to master after rebuilding and installing libreoffice? >When building Guix from git, be sure to pass the correct value to >./configure --localstatedir=. Most likely it is '/var'. Thank you for reminding me of this! I would have forgotten for sure! :@) -- 白い熊＠相撲道 >[0] >https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/guix.html#Building-from-Git
