> How does a gexp relate to a derivation?
The module comment of (guix gexp) says this: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- ;;; This module implements "G-expressions", or "gexps". Gexps are like ;;; S-expressions (sexps), with two differences: ;;; ;;; 1. References (un-quotations) to derivations or packages in a gexp are ;;; replaced by the corresponding output file name; in addition, the ;;; 'ungexp-native' unquote-like form allows code to explicitly refer to ;;; the native code of a given package, in case of cross-compilation; ;;; ;;; 2. Gexps embed information about the derivations they refer to. ;;; ;;; Gexps make it easy to write to files Scheme code that refers to store ;;; items, or to write Scheme code to build derivations. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- -- Ricardo
