• Paper published in 2009.
• Colleague needs release from 5 years ago.
• Python code and C bindings.

Guess what? 🤔

Open Source code isn’t enough! 😱

1. The 5 years old package needs dependencies.
2. These dependencies need options, incompatible with the current ones.
2. The 5 years old package needs specific CPython C API.

🥳 Colleague’s convinced! 🎉
📣 Package managers are one pillar of #OpenScience and #ReproducibleResearch!

And hopefully, it’s a fun challenge with #Guix. 😍
