Wait my proposal cannot work as-is because linux-architecture=#false for Hurd platforms ... FWIW, I think the current usual behaviour is not ideal, and that these kind of procedures should raise an exception instead, like specification->package: scheme@(guix-user)> (specification->package "foobar") guix repl: fout: foobar: onbekend pakket ; <-- unknown package Or search-input-file or search-input-directory. Maybe it could raise a &non-linux-platform condition like search-input-file raises &search-error condition? Greetings, Maxime.
