Hello Chris,

That's a valid objection. Regarding the "current-guix" package, it
builds the unit tests as a whole and it would be hard to extract
precisely the result of each individual test.
As almost everything else in Guix is somehow a derivation, it would be
easier for Cuirass to deal with the unit tests under that format. Maybe
we would need to find a way to be able to run them under the actual
form, as well as under a derivation format. This needs more thoughts
though, so I'll put that on hold.
Thanks for the feedback,
Mathieu
