derivations: Add #:dependency-graphs `derivation' parameter.
* guix/derivations.scm (derivation): Add `dependency-graphs' keyword parameter; honor it. * tests/derivations.scm (bootstrap-binary): New procedure. (%bash): Use it. (%mkdir): New variable. (directory-contents): Add `slurp' optional parameter. ("derivation with #:dependency-graphs"): New test. * doc/guix.texi (Derivations): Update accordingly.

otherwise manipulate derivations. The lowest-level primitive to create
a derivation is the @code{derivation} procedure:

Build a derivation with the given arguments. Return the resulting store
path and @code{<derivation>} object.
When @var{hash}, @var{hash-algo}, and @var{hash-mode} are given, a
@dfn{fixed-output derivation} is created---i.e., one whose result is
known in advance, such as a file download.
+
+When @var{dependency-graphs} is true, it must be a list of file
+name/store path pairs. In that case, the reference graph of each store
+path is exported in the build environment in the corresponding file, in
+a simple text format.
