Hi everyone,
Today I tried to convert one of my Guix profiles into a Docker image,
and naively tried
guix pack -f docker -m my-manifest.scm
Now I know it doesn't work, but I wonder if there is a good reason or if
this is just not implemented? The same question applies to "guix
environment". Maybe even "guix build", although I don't see a use case
for that. But I'd expect to be able to use a manifest wherever a list of
packages is required.
Konrad.

I don’t think there’s a good reason. “guix pack” accepts a store item
such as a profile, which may have been built from a manifest. I
wouldn’t mind accepting a patch to add support for a manifest option for
“guix pack”.
