Hi Brenton,

Brenton Horne <brentonhorne77@gmail.com> skribis:

> As I understand it only the guix build command has an option to log outpu=
t to a file.

Every derivation that is built, regardless of the command, has its log
stored in /var/log/guix/drvs.  What =E2=80=98guix build=E2=80=99 has is a s=
imple way to
get the file name or URL of a build log:

  guix build --log-file coreutils

See:

  https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Additional-Build-Optio=
ns.html
  https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Invoking-guix_002ddaem=
on.html
    (specifically --lose-logs and --disable-log-compression)

Can we say your feature request has already been fulfilled?  :-)

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
