+@defvr {Scheme Variable} channel-build-system
+This variable is exported by @code{(guix build-system channel)}.
+
+This build system is meant primarily for internal use. It requires two
+arguments, @code{#:commit} and @code{#:source}, and builds a Guix
+instance from that channel, in the same way @command{guix time-machine}
+would do it (@pxref{Channels}).
