Re: Guix as a native-inputs ?

[Julien Lepiller]

If you're trying to access the build daemon from inside the package build 
container, that must mean you have a derivation you're trying to build. Instead 
of trying to circumvent the container (which is there for a reason), you could:

- write a bit of Scheme code that returns that derivation
- pass the result as an input.

That way, you build that derivation outside the build environment, and you can 
refer to the result inside the build environment.
