Hi,
On my equipment the command 'guix system list-generations' identifies
the most recent system generation as "(current)" even though I booted
a different, past generation via Grub.
The information is most certainly wrong because my latest generation
does not boot successfully.
I don't know if it matters, but I used 'guix deploy' on my local system.
Kind regards,
Felix Lechner

Current system generation identifies the one that would boot by default. Basically, booted ≠ current. Maybe guix system could show that information.

Okay, thanks for the explanation!
I was confused since 'guix system delete-generations' also refused to
drop the defective generation. A kind user on IRC suggested the use of
'roll-back'. I see how that is consistent, but still think the
labeling is imprecise. Maybe we could instead offer the designations
"(default)" and maybe also "(booted)"?
Kind regards
