I think Tobias and Marius already commented on most issues; some can be fixed for 0.15, others are unfortunately trickier to address. > Starting point/environment Guix from git, being on commit: > > 6e65eb3cad1d1148eade9ed2228cdea90d531a94 > From: Mon Jul 2 00:08:54 2018 +0200 I made some adjustments to ‘guix system init’ later today, but it shouldn’t make a big difference here. Did you have troubles with substitutes? In particular, did it hang as described in <https://bugs.gnu.org/31925>? (I’m still experiencing it occasionally and I can’t believe I’m the only one.) > ... > note: currently hard linking saves 206.08 MiB > guix gc: freed 91,50781 MiBs > > The first line is written in English with a decimal point.

The English part comes from the C++ code base, which is not i18n’d, whereas the other line comes from the Scheme part, which is i18n’d. Here the Scheme code prints numbers according to your German locale; however, there’s apparently no translation of the message itself, which is why it still says “freed”. Weird, I agree. > 12) ls | less > > ls has a colored output. Nice. > ls | less has ugly escape sequences. Only ls --color=no | less works. As discussed on IRC with Tobias, that’s a mistake; we should use --color=auto. Tobias, are you committing this change? :-) Thanks! Ludo’.
