@civodul@toot.aquilenet.fr Yes, only channel files are isolated, not manifests. 😁 Maybe I misread, @khinsen@scholar.social suggested* in this thread to have something similar for the manifests. So I’m pointing that a remote manifest.scm file could be very nice – especially exploiting SWH. However, I’m not convinced the isolation for manifest file would be desirable; at least by default. *suggested also here 2 months ago: https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/pulls/6745#issuecomment-11227999 😁

@khinsen@scholar.social @zimoun@social.sciences.re Oh but the question is whether manifest files should be isolated as well—I should read more carefully. :-) I’d lean towards “no”, because like you wrote, manifests can be and often are more advanced than just lists of package names. Conversely, channel files are almost always trivial, with ‘channel-with-substitutes-available’ being perhaps the only attempt to program channel files (but it is little used AFAIK).
