Hello Chris,

That=E2=80=99s a great idea, and indeed something that should have been done
earlier on.

Some comments:

It would be ideal if we could actually build something, but built
something cheap.

The way we do that in those tests is by:

  1. Using the =E2=80=98guile-bootstrap=E2=80=99 package as an example, und=
er the
     assumption that it=E2=80=99s already available, does not require
     networking, and is built in one or two seconds.

  2. Using =E2=80=98--bootstrap=E2=80=99 or a similar option so that the de=
rivations use
     =E2=80=98guile-bootstrap=E2=80=99 instead of =E2=80=98guile-final=E2=
=80=99, for the same reason.

See for instance tests/guix-package.sh.

Would you be willing to try something along these lines?

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
