Subject: [bug#35456] [PATCH 0/1] Add 'guix install', 'guix remove', and 'guix upgrade'
Date: Sat, 27 Apr 2019 18:25:00 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190427162500.13554-1-ludo@gnu.org> (raw)
Hello Guix!
Here’s a change that’s both trivial and anecdotal by its size and
complexity, and super important after 7 years typing ‘guix package -i’
when every other tool out there has an ‘install’ sub-command. :-)
The main question is how we are going to present it when we introduce
people to Guix. In the manual I listed the aliases and changed
several instances of ‘guix package -i’ to ‘guix install’. To me,
‘guix package’ remains unavoidable, but having ‘guix install’ in
particular is important to help newcomers get started quickly.
Technically, the aliases are not dumb: you cannot do, say,
‘guix install -r foo’ to remove a package. There’s little code
duplication beyond ‘show-help’ and the license header.
Thoughts? Rejection? Happiness? :-)
Thanks,
Ludo’.
