[bug#62264] [PATCH v2 0/3] Add 'guix locate'

[bug#62264] [PATCH v2 0/3] Add 'guix locate'

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hello!

Here is the “camera-ready” version of the new ‘guix locate’ command
(formerly ‘guix index’) that Antoine and myself have worked on.
I think it’s ready to go.

This version relies only on local knowledge, which means you can
only find packages already in your store.  In a future iteration,
we’ll add an optional mechanism to download the database from
elsewhere.

Thoughts?

Ludo’.

  store: Tolerate non-existent GC root directories.
  Add 'guix locate'.
  DRAFT news: Add entry for 'guix locate'.

It would be helpful to provide a link to any documentation that's part of this work, as neither "guix locate" nor "guix index" have been discussed on guix-devel previously. I look forward to learning more about this feature!

You can find the discussion leading to this patch series at:
