Hello Guix,

Quoth <https://gnunet.org/bot/log/guix/2016-05-27>:

<alezost> I think it's impossible to use ~/.guix-profile/manifest for "guix package --manifest"                                                               
<civodul> ah yes, we cannot convert an instantiated profile into source (where "source" is the thing that one passes to --manifest)                           
<civodul> but we could/should have an option to allow:                                                                                                        
<civodul> guix package -X ~someone/.guix-profile/manifest                                                                                                     
<civodul> guix package -Y /gnu/store/...-profile.drv                                                                                                          
<civodul> so people could simply carry over these things                                                                                                      
<civodul> also: guix package -W /gnu/store/...-profile                                                                                                        
<civodul> all these are quite easy to implement
