@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 😁

@zimoun@social.sciences.re The issue I see with the current arrangement plus the advertising for it is the implicit message: Here's a nice new feature, but you will have to abandon manifests, and list your packages on the command line instead. For me, manifests as part of a version-controlled project are an essential feature for reproducibility. So *I* am not going to use this nice new toy. But others will put convenience of deployment over reproducibility. The same people who like conda. @civodul@toot.aquilenet.fr
