Thank you! Especially since guix's diffoscope doesn't install *all* of the tools needed, that seemed like an important feature to get working, as it allows you to: diffoscope --list-missing-tools guix And it will suggest packages you might want to install. Though I did wonder if there shouldn't be a diffoscope-with-the-kitchen-sink variant that does pull in everything available. Happy diffoscoping! live well, vagrant --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEARYKAB0WIQRlgHNhO/zFx+LkXUXcUY/If5cWqgUCXPBzkgAKCRDcUY/If5cW qvxJAQDlRywucBS+PupbZZA9CR/6zkjUaHD2OG48ZAUscyN+dQD/RTawJsxxHefo 0GZnq1psIujwGik9t7GHH/R/OQa4Fwc= =AgTu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
