Hmm, actually I don't really know where to put it. The trick is that `guix environment --root` does no just use the symlinked profile when it exists, it first builds the environment and thus builds/downloads packages if necessary. We don't talk about guix environment in the cookbook chapter, so I'm not sure if it's a good idea to introduce it there. Maybe we first need to progress with regard to the command line enhancements we are discussing in the other thread. =2D-=20 Pierre Neidhardt https://ambrevar.xyz/ --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCAAdFiEEUPM+LlsMPZAEJKvom9z0l6S7zH8FAl3EEUEACgkQm9z0l6S7 zH98Pwf/Y1B7gkfXsRhdvMxCd928gAzWEUfhR+6k3k7imP8Y0gHuVNFcgaf+tbGv /Fmo0Hmi03ygSKMK1/cO3SYAErXGyZ1YApNvo/KclacrboJXm6g7IdprRs7990ro RCbSE9phzKrt70C4Vq+ZTTSvdXawZ1rjtTusxw/K/b+l0kKUVf9XkolVH48ecrYk A89uhlDj0sydrruJ3NcPckkHFY/LhBNgp5m1fllBUlX60gA28dYR0mDJuXN+WZvG oorjM4vG0kwdVXo/aEPioomk2RCnxK9gylQhbbLubzMZhvPe8vizH2tdDl9d931D Rsx2SUQ5uja87gW49nD2yloMpaklNQ== =pWT7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
