Subject: How do I check out a package w/o installing it?
Date: Mon, 29 Jan 2018 14:00:08 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <86r2q8o5hj.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
I tried to use 'guix environment' to check out znc this way ...
guix environment --ad-hoc znc -- emacs -nw
I was disappointed when it produced an environment in which znc is not
shown as installed and the znc man is unavailable ...
g1@g1 ~ [env]$ which znc
/gnu/store/9g32caq0zi10m3mnydq76mkizpn7r2vd-profile/bin/znc
g1@g1 ~ [env]$ guix package -I | grep znc
g1@g1 ~ [env]$ man znc
No manual entry for znc
g1@g1 ~ [env]$
Is this how it works?
Is there a way to try out a package w/o installing it?
TIA - George
