Hi Ludo, as discussed before I have looked into the problems of timestamps in the zip files. I looked at the way this is solved in ant-build-system with jar files and thought that this could be done in a more elegant way. Because of this I wrote a simple frontend for LibArchive in C that repacks archives and sets their timestamps to zero and disables compression as it is done in the ant-build-system. Creative as I am the program is called repack. You find a git repository attached with the history of the repack program. The attached patches add repack to Guix and use it for pwsafe and the ant-build-system. This is a work in progress version: If you like these changes I will work on missing details so that we can add it, otherwise now would be a good point to stop development on these changes. I can still fall back to the variant that ant-build-system uses now for pwsafe. It would be nice if you could find the time to review everything and tell me what you think about the patches. The changes trigger a lot of rebuilds so it will take some time to build dependencies of the required programs. The repack tar contains a bare git repository with the program. Because I could not yet find a place to host the repository you need to unpack it somewhere, create an archive with the source code and change the guix definition of repack to use that source. Tim.
