Hi,
Phil <phil@beadling.co.uk> skribis:

For historical reasons, ‘--with-source’ only applies to leaf packages,
unlike most (all?) other transformation inputs. Concretely, this works:
guix build guile --with-source=guile=…
but this has no effect (Guix depends on Guile, but that Guile is left
unchanged):
guix build guix --with-source=guile=…
Could it be that it’s what you’re stumbling upon?
Jesse Gibbons provided a patch last year (!) to address that:
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/43193
Maybe it’s time to pick it up where we left off.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
