Definitely, it=E2=80=99s a great idea! The =E2=80=98wrap-containerized=E2=80=99 procedure above wouldn=E2=80=99t b= e hard to write ((guix scripts pack) has something similar). It could use a trick as in to automatically determine some of the default file system mappings. The next step I think would be to make a package transformation option for that, so one could say: guix install eolie --contained=3Deolie or similar. Ludo=E2=80=99.
