Source Code Archiving to the Rescue of Reproducible Deployment
Ludovic Courtès, Timothy Sample, Stefano Zacchiroli, Simon Tournier · 2024
The ability to verify research results and to experiment with methodologies are core tenets of science. As research results are increasingly the outcome of computational processes, software plays a central role. GNU Guix is a software deployment tool that supports reproducible software deployment, making it a foundation for computational research workflows. To achieve reproducibility, we must first ensure the source code of software packages Guix deploys remains available.
