Hi Ludo,

A naive question about the default value.

The change reads,

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
+(define* (set-guile-for-build guile #:optional system)
[...]
+    (let ((guile (package-derivation store guile
+                                     (or system (%current-system)))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The change reads for all hooks,

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
+  (define* (efi-bootloader-profile-hook manifest #:optional system)
[...]
     (gexp->derivation "efi-bootloader-profile"
                       build
+                      #:system system
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Do I understand correctly when I consider that
’(efi-bootloader-profile-hook manifest)’ pass #false as ’system’ and
then it is ’set-guile-for-build’ that sets ’(%current-system)’?

Somehow, my question is about the readability of default values.

Why not,

    #:system (or system (%current-system))

for all the hooks?


Cheers,
simon
