Subject: bug#30130: Add ‘guix whereis’ command
Date: Mon, 15 Jan 2018 18:16:11 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <871sirf3fo.fsf@gnu.org> (raw)
Hello,
I would find really useful if Guix was providing a tool similar to what
‘dnf whatprovides’ or ‘apt-file’ does. I mean something to check what
packages provides a particular file (executable/manual/library).
My main use-case is when running a ‘configure’ script which checks an
arbitrary program, I would like ‘guix whereis’ to help me find out what
package I need to install to satisfy its configuration requirement.
