Counting Packages yields wrong result

I tried to count the number of packages in GuixSD for myself, but my result differs from the package list on the home page (https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/packages/). Why? Here is how I did it: #!/run/current-system/profile/bin/guile -s !# ; Counting number of packages in current system. ; Th

Several questions on Guix(SD)

2016-08-22 Thread Björn Höfling
Dear list, since I watched that LibrePlanet video on GuixSD, I installed it in a QEMU environment and I'm very fascinated about it. It's a nice concept, having package management the functional and FSDG way. And that concept is reality. It works! I'm trying to learn to use and understand the syst

Hello, when one does guix pull, it is done only for that user, another one doing it subsequently (or at the same time) is going to download and compile the whole (identical) thing again, is it possible to switch a user to a previously dl'ed revision, like just changing a symlink in ~/.guix-profile
