I think Tobias and Marius already commented on most issues; some can be fixed for 0.15, others are unfortunately trickier to address. > Starting point/environment Guix from git, being on commit: > > 6e65eb3cad1d1148eade9ed2228cdea90d531a94 > From: Mon Jul 2 00:08:54 2018 +0200 I made some adjustments to =E2=80=98guix system init=E2=80=99 later today, = but it shouldn=E2=80=99t make a big difference here. Did you have troubles with substitutes? In particular, did it hang as described in ?

The last line = is written in English, although the decimal separator is German [Furthermor= e, It's more confusing to report the 0.00081 MiBs, i.e. about 80KiB saved s= pace. Rounding should be done after 3 places]. The English part comes from the C++ code base, which is not i18n=E2=80=99d, whereas the other line comes from the Scheme part, which is i18n=E2=80=99d. Here the Scheme code prints numbers according to your German locale; however, there=E2=80=99s apparently no translation of the message itself, w= hich is why it still says =E2=80=9Cfreed=E2=80=9D. Weird, I agree. > 12) ls | less > > ls has a colored output. Nice. > ls | less has ugly escape sequences. Only ls --color=3Dno | less works. As discussed on IRC with Tobias, that=E2=80=99s a mistake; we should use --color=3Dauto. Tobias, are you committing this change? :-) Thanks! Ludo=E2=80=99.
