Maybe I am doing wrong and I miss something.

For example, I want to build the package ’emacs-helm’ –which does not
(directly) depends on the package ’emacs’– using the package
’emacs-next’ (changing the Emacs VM from 27 to 28 in this case).

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ ./pre-inst-env guix build emacs emacs-next
/gnu/store/7kr0pg7gwhc31q4iq5vbnm5n99srhp84-emacs-next-28.0.50.1-0.2ea3466
/gnu/store/q3c6y4ccj3li5gfdcbyz24n466fnipp1-emacs-27.1

$ cat /tmp/manif.scm
(specifications->manifest '("emacs-helm"))

$ ./pre-inst-env guix build -m /tmp/manif.scm
/gnu/store/ka9lph0hpzaky0sa52zf09469apkhb68-emacs-helm-3.6.5

$ ./pre-inst-env guix build -m /tmp/manif.scm --with-input=emacs=emacs-next
/gnu/store/ka9lph0hpzaky0sa52zf09469apkhb68-emacs-helm-3.6.5
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I miss why the hash is the same.  I was expecting a different one, as
with your ’hello’ example (that I reproduce exactly).  What do I miss?

Note it is the same with:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ ./pre-inst-env guix build emacs-helm --with-input=emacs=emacs-next
/gnu/store/ka9lph0hpzaky0sa52zf09469apkhb68-emacs-helm-3.6.5
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


Well, I am trying to provide an example to [1] because your patch set
supersedes it, somehow.

[1] <http://issues.guix.gnu.org/41732#7>


(I have not yet tried the build transformation at the manifest level.)

All the best,
simon
