I am not sure if this is a little out of topic, but now, I'm a little curious about how Guile handles circular dependency, because I came across a similar issue. Is Guix able to access older build for, let's say, bootstrapping rustc?
All good -- though I'm not sure what circular dependency could be resolved by using an older build.
Typically you do
guix package --list-available=^mypackage$
and it lists all available versions, similar to conda
