Hello,
The Guix manual contains the following description of gexp->file:
-- Monadic Procedure: gexp->file NAME EXP [#:set-load-path? #t]
[#:module-path %load-path] [#:splice? #f] [#:guile
(default-guile)] Return a derivation that builds a file NAME
containing EXP. When SPLICE? is true, EXP is considered to be a
list of expressions that will be spliced in the resulting file.
When SET-LOAD-PATH? is true, emit code in the resulting file to set
‘%load-path’ and ‘%load-compiled-path’ to honor EXP’s imported
modules. Look up EXP’s modules in MODULE-PATH.
The resulting file holds references to all the dependencies of EXP
or a subset thereof.
I do not understand this last sentence. How can it be a subset? A
subset of what? Can this be explained more clearly or removed?
Regards,
Florian
