Hi,

I’m not a newcomer but I find it limpid: I think it immediately shows
that this is about version changes and when they happened. Maybe it
could be decluttered a bit by using shorter date strings (like
“Oct. 1st” instead of “2020-10-01 18:42:00”).
BTW, when looking at /output-history, the commits in “From” and “To” can
be a bit confusing. Take:
https://data.guix.gnu.org/repository/1/branch/master/package/openmpi/output-history
I see “To” pointing to
<https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=ec2a8f602ee0fd2fac2210eeae6d1da091bb47e4>,
a commit that changes ‘mpd’, which ‘openmpi’ doesn’t depend on; this is
completely bogus. However, the next “From” points to the right commit:
<https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=d623ece56624fd7d611cdaf42f728b21d89fec5c>.
It’s surprising that “To” and the immediately following “From” are not
the same.
WDYT, Chris?
Thanks,
Ludo’.
