PowerPC: reference to static-bash-for-glibc in binutils-final

Hi Efraim, The other day, I asked on IRC why it's OK for binutils-final to refer to static-bash-for-glibc on powerpc architectures, like in commit 2da8fcfdee7cfde8110a68806f3c4d497f217fe5, but it isn't OK on other architectures. You said, "there's an extra file that's a bash script specific to

Hi Magali, As discussed today at our weekly meeting, it could be cool to add the option: guix git log --date=-MM-DD listing the first (resp. last) commit date of the day. Or maybe all the commits of the days. Using this information would be really useful to feed “guix time-machine”.

Hi! So I went ahead and pushed this patch series as 15078567c17851ef0f2b017119f305e0d5e8a140. We can always improve from here, and hopefully getting actual user feedback will help us see the pros and cons of this option. Thanks! Ludo’.
