* bug#19278: guix needs to be installed for guix pull

package: guix
version: 0.9

`guix pull' requires to have guix among installed packages (`guix
package -i guix'), but this fact is not documented in manual and not
mentioned by `guix pull --help' message.

It is valid at least in my case - running Guix on top of Gentoo
distribution.

That shouldn’t be the case.

Do you still have the error handy, or can you reproduce it?

TIA,

Yes, I just reproduced it. It can bee seen on version:

At least, that is how I understand the problem.

But ‘guix pull’ is not used here.  I thought the problem had to do with
‘guix pull’, no?

AFAICS, in the example above, it’s just that at the beginning,
~/.guix-profile/bin/guix is being used (marked as “0.9”), and then
/usr/bin/guix is used instead (marked as “0.8”.)  Nothing special.

Thanks,
Ludo’.

I'm afraid that I
1] poorly worded the report
2] misunderstood

OK, let me retry.

I have Gentoo installation, guix 0.8 built using my ebuild and installed into system.

According to this part of documentation
http://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/guix.html#Invoking-guix-pull

I should be able to call `guix pull' and my guix will be updated.

It's not written there that it will be installed to
~/.config/guix/latest but guix prints it in the end.


So, when I call it:

tcech@venom ~ $ LC_ALL=C LANG=C /usr/bin/guix pull
starting download of `/tmp/guix-file.cSPiQM' from `http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/snapshot/guix-master.tar.gz'...

;;; note: source file /home/tcech/.config/guix/latest/gnu/packages/dwm.scm
;;;       newer than compiled /home/tcech/.config/guix/latest/gnu/packages/dwm.go

The following derivation will be built:

waiting for locks or build slots...
updated GNU Guix successfully deployed under `/home/tcech/.config/guix/latest'

and then ask for version:

tcech@venom ~ $ LC_ALL=C LANG=C /usr/bin/guix --version
guix (GNU Guix) 0.8
Copyright (C) 2014 the Guix authors
License GPLv3+: GNU GPL version 3 or later <http://gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html>
This is free software: you are free to change and redistribute it.
There is NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by law.
   
I can see that still old version is used.

The problem is

- documentation is missing some important part that I need to set up
  environment so new version will be used (adjusting PATH and
  GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH?)

or

- guix should check for installation in ~/.config/guix/latest by
  itself and does not


Please, ignore the part with `guix package -i guix' - it will just
cause installation of third instance of guix and this one will show
higher version as environment is set for installed packages
correctly. And this part confused me before.

I hope I made it more clear now.

Thanks,

S_W

Actually it’s another bug: the version reported is static, which is
misleading at best.  See <http://bugs.gnu.org/19318>.

Yes, thank you!

Hello!

I’m happy to report that this bug is finally fixed, in commit
b006ba50384f9cb517fa881299160adba0aaca9e.  :-)

It should take effect immediately: “guix pull && guix --version” should
display a version string other than “0.10.0” or similar.

Eventually the version string will include the Git commit id, à la “git
describe”.
