So this is not a bug. SORRY for the noise ;-) After re-reading (guix) Derivations, I see I had a wrong impression: that the presence of a .drv indicates a successful build. But AIUI now it only means that at some point in the past we attempted to build the .drv. IOW, we will also have .drv files for all failed builds. Is that correct? Thanks! - George
