I'll open a bug about it, I can work on it later. =2D As Julien mentioned recently, I think we should provide a "stable" channel. Is it already implied by the new (guix channel) module? =2D `guix package --upgrade' reverses the order of packages. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2018-04/msg00070.html https://bugs.gnu.org/31142 I think "infinite upgrades" will look very ugly to the casual user, we ough= t to fix that :) =2D TeXlive... (sigh!) TeXlive is rather important for lots of users but also lots of packages. Some packages (e.g. "asymptote" and "mit-scheme") currently depend on the f= ull TeXlive distribution (5GB). This is way too much for many users (low disk space, low bandwidth, or simply lack of time). I'm working on adding the missing individual TeXlive packages, but it's surprisingly hard, so help is more than welcome. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2018-05/msg00218.html We also need a user hook to install individual packages to the user profile: https://bugs.gnu.org/27217 Anything among these deemed for a post 1.0 release? =2D-=20 Pierre Neidhardt --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCAAdFiEEUPM+LlsMPZAEJKvom9z0l6S7zH8FAltev1AACgkQm9z0l6S7 zH+0wgf/RagbpmTlg86RBVw3H//phTYdnR/lW8UszpQwNiwQYsq0Bv84TtbfsPsw fWT9jFOICC4nCfezZk5+e55xOQ7dlIYtLNUXUtyvS74L5OWN2ThvDIW+OIMEZtdv INSGpo1xuegwWfB09Uqsgiu3YDH6Z84FEpRjikLqe6mVZm3ZzGonSxw/B9XB9l5f D8R11IwNz84ggO4JbA3YMUeQGvq/mPToa6GxNVO+HU6zDPf9ngK/R8de2anH6b0m snobo6iT3baKvYHp1+99EnrGXBL3EGGuQpVQhJVh2nP9Qjz9bPW9zx60XOFAuojq yRuz6aSAKzUK/k+HDzmvofEQsBx92Q== =2ue3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
