Interesting.
(Thinking out lout.)
Just like ‘guix system vm’ returns a script that runs QEMU with the
right arguments, one could imagine generating a script that copies
dependencies in the right place maybe?
(define (make-installer assets)
(gexp->script "copy-assets"
#~(begin
(for-each copy-file 'address@hidden)
...)))
(This could/should be turned into a package object so that adding it as
an input would drop it in $PATH.)
The developer would have to explicitly run that script to have the files
copied under extlib/.
Alternately one could generate a script that directly runs some http
server with the right parameters so that it finds CSS files, JS files,
etc.
Does that make sense?
