Subject: How to find a package file from substitute servers
Date: Mon, 18 Dec 2023 16:31:51 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4bb716b6-bebd-46ec-b7c3-ec426a944f25@skyguard.com.cn> (raw)
Hello
I ask this question because I encounter a very mundane problem: I want
to use the `at' command on my GuixSD system.
Like what I always do on Archlinux, the first step is to find out which
package includes the `at' command:
#+begin_example
pacman -Fx bin/at$
usr/bin/at is owned by extra/at 3.2.5-2
#+end_example
Then I'll install the package, and so on.
Unfortunately, I can't find a way to do the similar thing on GuixSD. I
know there is a “guix locate” to find files from store items, but
those store items must be already present in my gnu store.
So how to query such informations from a substitute server? Will Guix
plan to add a package file database in the future?
Thanks
Pan
