Subject: Dealing with common collisions in profiles
Date: Wed, 09 Sep 2015 22:53:45 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87egi7qppi.fsf@gnu.org> (raw)
Hello!
You’ve probably noticed that as soon as there’s a non-negligible number
of packages in a profile, there are collisions. It’s really harmless,
but seriously annoying. Here’s a collection of those I get:
share/glib-2.0/schemas/gschemas.compiled
share/icons/hicolor/icon-theme.cache
lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache
lib/perl5/5.16.1/x86_64-linux/perllocal.pod
Federico, I know ‘glib-or-gtk-build-system’ builds the first 3 items on
purpose, but what do you think can be done about them? At worst we
could always change (guix build profiles) to not report collisions for
those.
The .pod files are used by ‘perldoc’ IIUC. What can be done about them?
Thanks,
Ludo’.
