Possible reasons (I don't know which apply here and which are actually true): * When blender was first packaged, that configuration flag did not exist. * Likewise, but the 'alembic' package was not yet packaged in Guix. * The original package author did not notice the WITH_ALEMBIC option. * The original package author noticed the option but didn't need 'alembic' and kept things simple for now. * 'alembic' has a large closure size You'll have to add alembic to the 'inputs' of blender and add WITH_ALEMBIC to the #:configure-flags of 'blender'. I don't expect any problems but hard to tell in advance. Greetings, Maxime
