hey @bzg! Thanks for the chat at #SoftwareHeritage symposium.
A paper authored by @civodul and @zacchiro and Timothy Sample and me.
« Source Code Archiving to the Rescue of Reproducible Deployment »
https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3641525.3663622
The first bridge: https://hpc.guix.info/blog/2019/03/connecting-reproducible-deployment-to-a-long-term-source-code-archive/
Then for what it is worth, two blog posts about “real world” attempts about redeploying a computational environment associated to some scientific papers (some issues listed there had been fixed since then ).

And also FWIW, a short talk in #FOSDEM this year.
Well, it could be fun to try something about producing some containers (Docker or else) only using source code from SWH. Heh!
