(title (en "Package transformations now apply to implicit inputs"))
(body
(en "Package transformation options such as @option{--with-branch},
@option{--with-input}, and so on now apply to implicit inputs---previously
only a package's explicit inputs would be affected. This allows for things
such as replacing the Python dependency of a package that uses
@code{python-build-system}:
@example
guix install --with-input=python=python2 python-itsdangerous
@end example
Another example is grafting a different version of the GNU C
Library (@code{glibc} is an implicit input of almost all the packages and is
``deep down'' in the dependency graph):
@example
guix build --with-graft=glibc=glibc@@2.31 hello
@end example
Run @command{info \"(guix) Package Transformation Options\"} for more
info.")))
