I asked about this on the IRC but had no luck.

IIUC --with-source=package=source should set the source for "package" to "source" when something being built depends on "package". For example, `guix build --with-soure=python2=/tmp/python2 lci` should build the lci with the python2 source in /tmp/python2, and should work because python2 is a dependency of lci. However, when I try that, I get the message "guix build: warning: transformation 'with-source' had no effect on [email protected]". Am I using the --with-source option incorrectly, or is this some sort of bug? I replace "--with-source=python2=/tmp/python2" with "--with-source=lci=/tmp/python2" when /tmp/python2 doesn't even exist, and it gives me the result I would expect: 'guix build: error: lstat: No such file or directory: "/tmp/python2"'

Should I file this as a bug report?
