If moving from Guix version 0.15 to 0.18, one can upgrade step by step in each version separately: guix pull --branch=3D0.16.0 guix pull --branch=3D0.17.0 guix pull # already pre-latest This is even possible with Guix versions before the '--branch' option, using '--url' instead. As long as Guix can upgrade itself from each version, this should work for any version upgrade. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEEW9rpuLL2xry7DWzlgfkOw801YGAFAltSRDwACgkQgfkOw801 YGBvsQ/+PT4PArWxiaaVngKNHrF2frdCixjtsuJQkPt02BH4pS98uVKdcjS5ncuB FKKFRuHaTKTnk3HdZQrX2I0z8aTpcviSRZAptxZzIga+WcX03SPyabDA9YhpBLFY inONiHwwtV+ZG804AaJfxfpLNxNJTiWCCnHc9QZT92KEb+LZTMqHvLZdG8Z6+j4y KSy0GjVKzN4Zm0lbkDJeMXvWXOU2K2Hz0Ms2C4KsmPWiP+9cQJ8AuxOGe6APcGhN EXS6QY0f6O+dCx+A1nO+OhDE4oqlxCkCSeyrlyl9pmNkgitCx4dLBYGfbl1ynEmR H6gGL+fUFlIynhI3ykXJOcq7foczwYyHFlmcmYu7HQzah4whwNH6kCaknAUk6hMF Y0Yh4ov5edOIEcfWLC0djcM5Kggtqu4erkym+5tkVtdbdntletEiymtWMJzaeuLF f+bhL4eN9ziTJdmGhsdYMu12w1tGnCTFvLsvAEbjiPMju2tyt68zFZnxSvqUDydM uU+oSto41pgq7DiyklZU5RK83gRfFj0vlg9ufMe8vVsqc3C9Aa9imJS4bSTsrhR3 Th7nyid1NsTUkI0dUcaDxSD7Cuo62R1ydBEJQbSaIvhJoHvWqR0PIK0JAD+y/hLL WVyGblcRDYwES2TtSoL1081SIxSRWgP+o+BpUJhd5ar4slvjKM4= =FOAV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
