What do you > think? ‘%build-inputs’ etc. are global variables of package derivation build scripts; see ‘build-expression->derivation’ in (guix derivations). To view the code of one of these scripts, open the file returned by: $ guix gc --references $(guix build -d coreutils) | grep builder /gnu/store/v02xky6f5rvjywd7ficzi5pyibbmk6cq-coreutils-8.29-guile-builder > l...@gnu.org (Ludovic Courtès) writes: >> When would you like it to be on line? > > Well, as soon as possible :) Monday 1st, maybe?
