Subject: bug#42814: request: make guix upgrade recognize --do-not-upgrade
Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2020 12:37:06 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <6f97171f-73ac-8289-d006-e379d00c0785@gmail.com> (raw)
From the manual:
• ‘guix search’ is an alias for ‘guix package -s’,
• ‘guix install’ is an alias for ‘guix package -i’,
• ‘guix remove’ is an alias for ‘guix package -r’,
• ‘guix upgrade’ is an alias for ‘guix package -u’,
• and ‘guix show’ is an alias for ‘guix package --show=’.
One option for "guix package -u" I often find myself using is
--do-not-upgrade. However, guix upgrade does not recognize that option.
When I run "guix upgrade --do-not-upgrade=ungoogled-chromium" I get the
following results:
guix upgrade: error: do-not-upgrade=ungoogled-chromium: unrecognized option
This is a bit frustrating, because I want to be able to upgrade all my
profiles with the command:
"guix package --list-profiles | xargs -n1 guix upgrade
--do-not-upgrade=ungoogled-chromium"
But it prints the above error for every profile and doesn't actually do
anything.
For now, my work-around is code like the following:
"for profile in $(guix package --list-profiles); do guix package -p
$profile --do-not-upgrade=ungoogled-chromium -u; done"
As you can see, this is quite a bit more complex than it needs to be.
So, why not have guix upgrade recognize the --do-not-upgrade option?
