Hi again!
I just had a cursory look, and my main concern is that maybe exposing
commands is one more thing to learn for the user, and one more step to
run to get a simple file.
Instead, what about doing what system profiles already do with
/run/current-system/channels.scm
/run/current-system/configuration.scm
and store the result of the proposed commands directly in
$PROFILE/channels.scm and $PROFILE/manifest-spec.scm, on each profile
upgrade?
We could add a warning comment at the top, explaining the limitations of
these files (that it does not represent the profile faithfully).
Thoughts?
Last, just a nit: what about listing the packages corresponding to the
commented commits next to them? For instance
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(list
;; Note: these other commits were also used to install some of the packages in this profile:

Thanks for working on this, Ludo!
Cheers!
