Right. This is something that's also bothering me. I wonder how hard
it would be to select the database used by cuirass at runtime.

I did found the manual to be lacking. I'm using it just to re-compile
my local package though so it's enough.
Tell me, does Laminar check for channels update like cuirass? The main
feature I like about cuirass is that if any dependencies of a package is
updated, it will rebuild my package. If it does support that, I will
seriously consider switching to guix-forge for my project.
