Hi Guix!
What do you do when you want to use a package that
has already been removed from guix. An example is
that I have a legacy project that I help maintain
that still uses some old python2 packages. One of
them is python2-flask*. Right now, as a work
around, I manually write the package definitions
somewhere and build those; but I feel there are
better ways of doing that. What ways, if any, are
those?
