Re: How to force rebuilding a pacakge?

Hi!

Note that, when grafts are applicable to a package, ‘guix build
the-package’ builds the derivation that grafts the package, not the
derivation that builds the original package.

Similarly, ‘guix build --check the-package’ rebuilds the derivation that
grafts the package, not the derivation that builds the original package.

Instead, you may want to use ‘guix build --check --no-grafts
the-package’ to actually rebuild the original package.

Likewise for the build log of the original package: ‘guix build
--log-file --no-grafts the-package’.

HTH,
Ludo’.
