Yes, that could be a utility procedure in (guix packages).
(bag-direct-inputs (package->bag p)) may not be far from it…

I had a tiny patch that export ’package-environment-inputs’ as
’inputs-of’ and used it to create profiles. But my motivation had been
killed by bug#38529.  And now, it is rare that I need it and I use:

  guix time-machine -C channels -- environment foo --ad-hoc bar

because it is really rare that I need the dependencies of more that one
package.  Anyway!  It could be nice to have.


Maybe this function could go to the module imported by manifest.  WDYT?


All the best,
simon

There’s no standard procedure that does that currently (it’s buried in
(guix scripts environment)) but it’d be nice to have.

Specifying dependencies in manifest

[Hartmut Goebel]

Hi,

how to specify "dependencies of package" in a manifest?

Background: I'm using a manifest file for defining my development 
environment and keeping up with the dependencies of some of the packages 
is cumbersome.
