Ni!

While debugging a package definition I met the following odd behavior:

On subsequent failed builds, if I go to build dir and source
'environment-variables', this is what happens:


/tmp/guix-build-[package].drv-1$ source environment-variables
/tmp/guix-build-[package].drv-0/[package]$


See how I source it in failed build '-1', but my cwd gets changed to
failed build '-0'!

Cheers,
ale

Alexandre,

If Guix used a different build directory depending on how many 
previous builds were kept, many builds would become 
irreproducible.

Instead, Guix always uses .drv-0 inside the build container.  When 
you pass --keep and the build fails and .drv-0 already exists on 
the host, it's renamed.

If you want ‘environment-variables’ to match the environment 
outside of the container, rename /tmp/guix-build-[package].drv-1 
to /tmp/guix-build-[package].drv-0.

Kind regards,

T G-R
