Thanks

 

Well, I still think it’s an easy fix because to
me the issue is not the failure of “guix build --source foo
--with-source=bar” but the poor error handling.  However, if the aim to
be able to pass such command-line, then indeed that’s not easy because
it’s about some guarantee that the transformation is sound and that’s
hard for the generic case, IMHO.

Well let's hope few such easy bugs linger for so long without being fixed

;-)
