Hi,

Hilton Chain <hako <at> ultrarare.space> skribis:

> * guix/packages.scm (add-input-label): Specify output when it's not "out".

[...]

> +         (list (string-append (package-name package) ":" output)
> +               package
> +               output)))

The Grand Plan¹ is to eventually get rid of labels entirely (or almost:
there’d still be input alists on the build side).  As such, I thought we
shouldn’t worry too much about what the actual label is.  But perhaps
you stumbled upon situations where this is a problem?  Could you
describe them?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
