Hi, currently for updating package definitions in guix.git, these are the steps I am following:
(from https://github.com/pjotrp/guix-notes/blob/master/INSTALL.org#building-gnu-guix-from-source-using-guix---the-bullet-proof-way) in guix.git guix pull guix environment -C guix --ad-hoc bash vim guile-json (in the new environment) gcc --version guile --version rm -rf autom4te.cache/ # to be sure make clean ./bootstrap ./configure --localstatedir=/var make clean # to be really sure make clean-go # to be even surer time make -j 4 (then getting out of the special environment) updating the relevant .scm files, testing build with ./pre-inst-env guix build -k -K <target> etc.) However, now every time after I do git pull in guix.git, I need to repeat the steps above from guix environment -C guix --ad-hoc bash vim guile-json and make clean, re-configure, etc.. I find that just redoing make (in the special guix environment) will not work. Is there a way to avoid make clean and rebuilding the whole tree? I wonder if I was missing something. Rebuilding every time is just time consuming. Thanks for info on this
