Sounds good in principle. I just wonder how many authors (and thus different preferences and use cases) it takes to make this really useful. I note for example that my own use of profiles is rather different from yours: I have per-project profiles for long-term projects whose software I don't want to update regularly to avoid breaking stuff. > Placing all your profiles in a single folder, with each profile getting its > own > subfolder is somewhat cleaner, plus it's obvious to "loop over profiles" from > any programming language (e.g. a shell script) by > simply looping over the sub-directories of .guix-extra-profiles. That's very good advice that definitely should be written down somewhere. Konrad.
