Subject: gnu: nss-certs: Avoid top-level reference to NSS.
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

This is the only hammer I know for dealing with module cycles and
effectively fixes, for example, ‘guix show nss’ today.

It's also a very poor solution.

* gnu/packages/certs.scm (nss-certs)[version, source]: Copy verbatim
from the nss package rather than referring to it at the top level.

Reported by several users of #guix.
