Hi,
In guix 1.4.0 there are 2 locale.alias files from glibc on the disk:
$ ls -liL --sort=size `find / -name locale.alias 2>/dev/null | grep -v X11`

Can something be done to avoid that installing the packages 'glibc' and
'binutils' shadows this wrapper?
Maybe moving the wrapper to a different package than it

/bin/pwd exists on all other Unix systems; so de facto it _is_ Guix
specific.
Hi,
I'm using the recent guix-system-vm-image-1.1.0.x86_64-linux.
After installing a couple of package for development
$ guix install make gcc-toolchain binutils glibc gdb gettext m4 autoconf
automake
I expected to be able to build GNU bison 3.5.91 from source. But I hit a build
failure, due to
Hi,
I'm searching for documentation for application developers, regarding
tips for porting from ordinary Linux distros to GNU guix.
I would expect to find these issues discussed, at least:
- hard-coded program names like /bin/pwd
- where is /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 ?
- lib

That would be OK as a second step. But first, we should get the
sort order (the notion of relevance) improved.

More precisely: If there is a package named X (perfect match), it should
come first. The packages that install a program named X should come second.

I'm using the guix-1.0 installation image
(guix-system-vm-image-1.0.0.x86_64-linux). It shows a screen "Logging in..."
for less than one second and then starts the user's desktop immediately.
