> This patch set is to record in a profile’s ‘manifest’ the package
> transformation options that were in effect when it was created and
> to replay them when upgrading.

> Let’s say you do:
>
>   guix install emacs-next --with-branch=emacs-next=master
>
> When you later run:
>
>   guix upgrade
>
> the ‘--with-branch’ option will be in effect, meaning that it’ll
> again pull the latest Emacs and build it.
>
> It’s a contrived example because it relies on external resources;
> preserving ‘--with-input’ & co. probably makes more sense.

> The kind of options I have in mind that are particularly important
> to preserve are options that parameterize packages and the
> hypothetical option that wraps an installed package into a “POLA
> wrapper” as was discussed recently (the wrapper spawns the actual
> program in a container).
>
> Users of ‘guix package -m’ are unaffected by all this.  After all,
> they can already program whatever transformations they want in
> their manifest (though it would be nice to make those
> transformations more readily usable at the Scheme level!).
