What’s the intended use case?  Is it to check that Guix compiles against
an old Guile 2.0 and without optional dependencies?

I wonder whether we should add packages “just” for this, especially
given that 2.0 support is reaching end-of-life and that 2.0.13 is pretty
old.

Thank you,
Ludo’.

It might be old but it's still hanging around. Right now iirc Debian
stable and Ubuntu 18.04 both ship with Guile-2.0 and with guile packages
built against it. If someone wanted to build Guix from source using the
various guile libraries there's a fair amount of packaging to do.

Right, to make sure that what we're advertising to the outside
world as far as minimum dependencies will actually work.

This package would be updated as needed to reflect changes in Guix
dependencies.

I'm still work to bring guile2.2 to openSUSE. The problem is that
autogen 5.18.14 has no guile2.2 support, the new release of autogen
5.18.16 should have it. I'm still trying to get it building...

The whole status of guix with guile2.2 on openSUSE can be found here.
Not that it's very work-in-progress:

Note that it’s possible to have 2.0 and 2.2 (and 3.0) installed in
parallel:

  https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Parallel-Installations.html

So you don’t have to switch all packages to Guile 2.2 overnight.

Neat, thanks a lot for your work on this!  (And thanks to Tomáš as
well!)

I see.

OK.  It does sound like an interesting CI job, but maybe not great as a
package users can install.  Though of course we can mark it as hidden
and then it’s just an easy way to write that CI job.  Thoughts?

I think marking it "hidden" would be fine.  Do the build farms
automatically build hidden packages too?

OK, let’s do that, along with a comment explaining the purpose of this
package.

Yes I think so (see ‘all-packages’ in build-aux/hydra/gnu-system.scm.)

Thanks!
