bug#27067: Feature request: please allow for either automatic logging of all output of every guix commands or add an option to each guix command to allow it for all to be logged

Hi Brenton,

Every derivation that is built, regardless of the command, has its log
stored in /var/log/guix/drvs.  What ‘guix build’ has is a simple way to
get the file name or URL of a build log:

  guix build --log-file coreutils

See:

    (specifically --lose-logs and --disable-log-compression)

Can we say your feature request has already been fulfilled?  :-)

Thanks,
Ludo’.
