Hello,

I have recently uncovered a "feature" that works little bit than described in the manual,

During definition of a new variable, package, there is an option called supported-systems​ which defaults to %default-systems​.

However, if the package is known to work on certain architecture the right thing is to list the supported architectures, right?

If I select package which is not supported by my current architecture and build it I get notification like this one:
`warning: package grafana@9.3.2 does not support x86_64-linux`

So suppose I have the same package for different architectures, each has it's own unique tarball.

I've defined one package and inherited from it, changing the source​ for the other and selecting the correct supported-systems​.
Unfortunately, this approach fails as Guix does not select the right package I want to use on the current system.

So should the approach be to define just one variable for the package and then conditionally select the right tarball/git for the package?

Also is this considered bug or a feature?

FIY I know the right way would be to build Grafana from source in this case which would solve the issue I just wanted to know in general more about the use case of the supported-systems​ option.
