Subject: [bug#55792] [PATCH 3/3] hydra: web: Make mcron job derivations deterministic.

From: Ludovic Courtès <[email-masked]>
Date: Sat, 4 Jun 2022 10:37:36 +0200

The result of (hash config period) varies between runs.  Thus, starting
from bdb914a1242cb0c00957050c96d1e279d2eb5dec, each run of "guix system
build -d ..." would produce a different derivation.

This commit fixes that.

New procedure.
Use it.
