Hi, I suggest to maybe amend one of the things done by this patchset:
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/67260
It undoes the hashing effect of the Elisp function `comp-el-to-eln-filename`,
and that seems likely to cause issues downstream, for example in my Emacs
package: https://github.com/meedstrom/org-node/issues/60.
To summarize: that function is supposed to generate a filename with a hash
based not only the filename but the contents of the file. While it makes sense
in Guix to ignore the contribution of the filename, I believe it should still
output a new filename when the contents change.
Otherwise there seems to be no way for a downstream package to ensure that it
is using an up-to-date .eln variant of an .el file.
I may have missed something though. Can someone in the know tell me what
happens if you have not updated Emacs (which if I understand correctly, means
ELN-DIR does not change), but you do update an Elisp package, whether through
Guix or through Emacs' own package managers. Will Emacs then possibly load an
old .eln?
I do not believe that user options like `load-prefer-newer` would affect it. It
would just rely on running the aforementioned function and counting on it to
output an .eln filename that does not exist if the source is newer.
