Subject: Re: ‘guix environment’ vs. ‘.bash_profile’
Date: Sun, 13 Sep 2020 15:24:05 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ada92bf2-f957-fc19-2361-f9727655c700@brendan.scot> (raw)
Doom Emacs has a tool `doom doctor' for diagnosing common errors.
Perhaps there could be a `guix doctor' that would check for such things.
`guix offload test' is already somewhat like that but for offloading,
althought it could improve. Any bug report from a user where the
solution is to tell them to fix their environment instead of changing
guix could also have a check added to guix doctor. Also, we could
collect knowledge on aspects of GNU/Linux that are unique to Guix that
one often doesn't learn about on other distributions and include a page
in the manual. for example I never had any use for sudo -E or sudo -i
until I started using Guix.
