Yes, and also, does a Docker image created by `guix pull` followed by `guix
system docker-image [...]` in fact really inherit the
Guix snapshot from the system that creates it?
Here's what I get on a freshly minted image made that way:
root@guix /# guix pull --list-generations
guix pull: error: profile '/var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/current-guix'
does not exist
root@guix /# guix describe
guix describe: error: failed to determine origin
hint: Perhaps this `guix' command was not obtained with `guix pull'? Its
version string is 1.1.0-4.bdc801e.
root@guix /# guix package --list-generations
guix package: error: profile
'/var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/guix-profile' does not exist
But here's `guix describe` output from the parent system:
root@localhost /# guix describe
Generation 13 May 29 2020 19:28:11 (current)
guix 41a2d6a
repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git
branch: master
commit: 41a2d6a8b9294a6eb8e97aaefd569e755f5f461e
Until a fresh `guix pull` is run on the new image, it isn't functional and
there's no apparent way to confirm its actual commit hash,
so I don't really see what advantage it offers over the incremental method
I'm using (and it's unfeasibly slow, about 10-15 minutes
for an incremental pull compared to over an hour to finish `guix system
docker-image`).
