After doing a `guix pull` on the new VM image , the following is displayed: > hint: Run `guix pull --news' to read all the news. > > hint: After setting `PATH', run `hash guix' to make sure your shell refers to `/home/guest/.config/guix/current/bin/guix'. The former `guix pull --news` is without effect (it is the very first time I did a `guix pull`). It is a no-op. Users should not get the suggestion to run `guix pull --news`. Within (guix scripts pull)’ build-and-install procedure, the value of (display-channel-news-headlines profile) is . The attached patch changes it to return #f. I have verified running `guix pull --news' is not suggested anymore with it (although I have not tested if news are still displayed). It would perhaps be nicer if the news since version 1.2.0 were displayed, but I do not know how to make it so. I guess since the original guix package must come from the guix package in (gnu packages package-management), it is impossible to determine the version from which news should be computed.
