Subject: Re: [PATCH] system: Remove spec->file-system.
Date: Sat, 3 Dec 2016 00:23:57 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAL1_im=pbf5Wj2ueHKENHKXTBA1JLM15onXD4M+HpQ234hjPzw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20161202183716.25174-1-david@craven.ch>

The reason I'm suggesting to remove this function, is because it seems
like any case one would want to use it, one should not be using it.
There is a separation of gnu/system and gnu/build and a
spec->file-system function encourages people to try using the
<file-system> in the build part. I think that it's a "code smell" as
the one instance where it was used is dubious.
