From: Jelle Licht <jlicht@fsfe.org>

Hey guix,

This patch series should not lead to any rebuilds.  The aim is to expose the
used linux upstream sources, for use by custom local packages or external
channels.

Two main concerns I still have:
* Is this fundamentally going to be an issue with the FSDG? 
* This is the 'dumb' solution; alternatively, I was thinking of introducing a
  record to unify all the moving parts (the upstream sources, the deblob
  scripts) involved in building our linux-libre kernels. That bigger change is
  ideally something we achieve consensus on before writing some code.


Jelle Licht (5):
  gnu: linux-libre 4.14: Expose upstream sources.
  gnu: linux-libre 4.19: Expose upstream sources.
  gnu: linux-libre 5.10: Expose upstream sources.
  gnu: linux-libre 5.15: Expose upstream sources.
  gnu: linux-libre 6.1: Expose upstream sources.

Fair enough. I'll go ahead and assume that any "workaround" using public
bindings exposed by guix can be considered a bug, later to be addressed
by guix in order to prevent similar situations.

It does, so never mind!

Thanks for your input,
