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
