Commit 5401dd7 does that. There’s one difference compared to guix-package: guix-build doesn’t try to parse “sub-derivation names” like guix-package does (after a colon–see the manual), because that doesn’t make sense here since guix-build builds all the outputs of a derivation. BTW, you could have used: guix-build -e '(@ (gnu packages libjpeg) libjpeg-8)' Less convenient, but more efficient. Thanks! Ludo’.
