Hi Guix.
This is a continuation of a previous discussion [1]. I'm opening a
standalone bug to try and track it better.
At present, when guix-home-service-type is used, new home generations
are never created/registered. This causes commands that operate on
home-generations to return inaccurate or garbage information. For
instance, guix home describe -I will not report the current list of
installed packages.
Defining the interactions between guix-home-service-type and various
guix home subcommands is challenging. The proper behavior is not always
obvious [1]. Per a followup from Ludo [2], a good starting point is for
a new home generation to be created when activating a new system while
using guix-home-service-type.
