Subject: [bug#59520] [PATCH] doc: Note that guix package can operate on outputs.
Date: Wed, 23 Nov 2022 16:02:47 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <55329d6b-623f-c791-07c2-4eb219ca67d2@quic.us> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <86o7sxflz8.fsf@gmail.com>
Hello,
That change was to make the hierarchy of clauses a bit clearer (A such
as a, or b; B such as a, or b; or C such as a, or b), that being said
it is just a style thing, I can change it back if preferred.
Well I had to do it today! (rust 1.65 is defined but not exported, so to
install it I ran `guix build -e '(@@ (gnu packages rust rust-1.65)'`,
then `guix install /gnu/store/...-rust-1.6.5`
I do agree that it's maybe not the best to have it in the same sentence
though, but it'd be nice to have this behavior documented.
Thanks,
Abhishek.
(Sorry forgot to reply all on previous email)
