| description | The ability to verify research results and to experiment with methodologies
are core tenets of science. As research results are increasingly the outcome of
computational processes, software plays a central role. GNU Guix is a software
deployment tool that supports reproducible software deployment, making it a
foundation for computational research workflows. To achieve reproducibility, we
must first ensure the source code of software packages Guix deploys remains
available.We describe our work connecting Guix with Software Heritage, the
universal source code archive, making Guix the first free software distribution
and tool backed by a stable archive. Our contribution is twofold: we explain
the rationale and present the design and implementation we came up with;
second, we report on the archival coverage for package source code with data
collected over five years and discuss remaining challenges. |
