Pretty cool indeed! Recently I thought we could extract the ‘self-contained-tarball’ function you quoted and make it a bit more generic so that we can use it for a ‘guix package’ command: $ guix pack guix # same as ‘make guix-binary.x86_64.tar.gz’ /gnu/store/…-guix.tar.gz $ guix pack emacs /gnu/store/…-emacs.tar.gz >From there, we might even be able to do something like: $ guix package --format=docker --entry-point=emacs emacs (See <https://github.com/docker/docker/blob/master/image/spec/v1.md>.)
