The file /manifest is an internal detail implementation and the user should *not* be exposed to. Well, there are a lot of internal files that the user is not aware. And sometimes, the names are more or less well-chosen. But hey! it is internal and naming is hard. :-) > Yes, only 'manifest.scm' is in the doc, but '.guix-profile/manifest' > smacks a user in the face pretty quickly which leads to these messy > questions. I am not convinced by "smacks in the face pretty quickly". But I agree that questions about this topic regularly come. For example, to pick an old one: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2018-10/msg00011.htlm > IMO we could dramatically simplify the situation, and simplify our > lives, by simply renaming the .guix-profile/manifest file ;-) In contradiction with what I wrote above, I agree. :-) /manifest should be renamed /specifications or something like that. And a comment could be inserted in this file saying: internal usage, do not modify, etc.. WDYT? All the best, simon
