Re: Introducing ‘guix pack’

Hello Guix!  Hello 2.2 Guilers!

As of right now, ‘guix pack’ can create Docker image (‘guix archive’
can no longer do that):

  guix pack guile-next -S /opt/guile-2.2.0= -f docker

I’d be grateful if someone could check with Docker that I didn’t break
anything though.  Any takers?  :-)

The archive build process is bit-reproducible too, which is pretty cool
(Docker images created in January, 1970!).

That’s it!
