We have "guix build -S foo" which fetches the source. It sounds likeyou're suggesting that we remove this and replace it with a "source" (or"debug-full") output for each package, so to get the source you would run "guix build foo:source" instead. Is my understanding correct?
Interesting idea (:source, not :debug-full)! Two minor points:Won't that mean that the package has to be built to completion at least once, somewhere, to output its own :source? If so, adding special-case code to avoid that would not be a net win.
We'd also have to choose between keeping a misleading name, 'outputs', and a global bike-sed.
