Hi Guixers,

Why are build systems separated into two modules?

Why can't an entire build system be contained in a single module?

Just trying to understand the background design decisions that went into
that for my own knowledge and understanding.

all best,

jgart

This way it's easier to separate what goes into the build (guix build
my-build-system) and what doesn't (guix build-system my).  The closure
of available modules at build time is declared in the #:arguments and
gets default-initialized to the %my-build-system-modules.
