Maybe guix package -m manifest.scm:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(use-modules
(srfi srfi-1)
(ice-9 match)
(gnu packages)
(guix packages))
;;; copied from guix/scripts/weather.scm.
(define (all-packages)
"Return the list of public packages we are going to query."
(delete-duplicates
(fold-packages (lambda (package result)
(match (package-replacement package)
((? package? replacement)
(cons* replacement package result))
(#f
(cons package result))))
'()
;; Dismiss deprecated packages but keep hidden packages.
#:select? (negate package-superseded))
eq?))
(packages->manifest (all-packages))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
No idea how long it will be :)
