[PATCH 0/1] guix: scripts: build: Mention 'PACKAGE' in '--with-source' option. |

Dear,
It appears serveral times that I am confused by the transformation
"--with-source" where the CLI reports:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
guix build: warning: transformation 'with-source' had no effect on
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
because I use "guix build --with-source=path/to/archive" where
'path/to/archive' does not match the package name. Then "guix build -h" says:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
--with-source=SOURCE
use SOURCE when building the corresponding package
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
and all the others transformation options says:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
--with-input=PACKAGE=REPLACEMENT
replace dependency PACKAGE by REPLACEMENT
--with-graft=PACKAGE=REPLACEMENT
graft REPLACEMENT on packages that refer to PACKAGE
--with-branch=PACKAGE=BRANCH
build PACKAGE from the latest commit of BRANCH
--with-commit=PACKAGE=COMMIT
build PACKAGE from COMMIT
--with-git-url=PACKAGE=URL
build PACKAGE from the repository at URL
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
All the best,
simon

I added square brackets because PACKAGE is optional.
Thanks!
