Hi,
Xinglu Chen <public@yoctocell.xyz> skribis:
> * doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix refresh): Add snippet that runs 'guix refresh'
> on all the packages installed in the current profile.
[...]
> +You can also quickly update all the packages installed in the current
> +profile with the following snippet:

> +@example
> +$ guix refresh -u $(guix package --list-installed | cut -f1)
> +@end example
> +
> +This is handy if you don't use manifests for installing packages into

Note that if you type this literally, it fails along these lines:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix refresh -u grep

guix refresh: error: mkstemp!: Read-only file system

So I think this example may be misleading. We could instead suggest
./pre-inst-env, with a link to “Running Guix Before It Is Installed”,
and possibly mention the ‘--with-latest’ option as well.
WDYT?
Thanks,
Ludo’.
