Hi,

It would be nice to have a --system argument for guix package. For
instance, on an x86_64 box, it would be nice to list all 32-bit packages.

Thanks,
Barrett

In the meantime, you can achieve that by writing a manifest where you
would “pin” the system type using ‘with-parameters’, as in this
manifest:

  https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/etc/release-manifest.scm

You can then run “guix package -m that-file.scm”.

HTH!
