When you say the Guix checkout, you're referring to the contents of ~/.config/guix/current, right? It's been a little while since I peeked at that, but I believe that profile and its generations contain not only the currently installed Guix (in pre-compiled form), but also any channels the user has installed (also in pre-compiled form). Since it is not simply a Git checkout of either Guix or the channels, I'm not sure that "checkout" is the right term. But if you still think that "checkout" is easier to understand, then I would be okay with that. I feel like I am already bike-shedding, and I do not want to do that. =2D-=20 Chris --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEEy/WXVcvn5+/vGD+x3UCaFdgiRp0FAlwabtQACgkQ3UCaFdgi Rp2gORAAqONGwxG0F1bframsCAZtLzq+3/f0GdxZhQN8/U9W34AFLdbXnLVUZuMR gYkoLtz9rOvRm0aIh1KU08XU7XuZHblklg158lvMUFD0BHSmthFuO/zgABvMdA5o yfgtCR+hXCw/V3FuoZjKR+oSAWixn+v2z7yKOFnAs/DiIJSHqUKHMpXPu4nMZ7kL XW4E/q1Gb+MrHrDjepw0ymaCf5fkYpZWsQdr4ZhyGWjgFSPIZiavCAfzoSyqdeWu HANMh7OQRmdZqC1juPNptcUVVNPzhfKrnHWyQNevosEOar14kuVdpIxRCBMQ53d8 H5gBkAmtXZJsL6EZ0tG67DnI3C/e3raG+EKImsHSpuJpGMY4s9IhENkaZyKjaHy8 yieX3FPhMJci00jvajVpTeLUUmNUngwI3d1mTeq29HGDO8mqmzV2S95lBrZqQfl5 oeurnf26lOvh3XyGgrED5zm05DNAX6f2SJkqFR33+dYB9kQRz/Q/KiHnknw18Azq D8M387TJfo9ky4qWiLMwikjumbgmG+YQHYv+yKkw0ztdH0Y1moiDWG5C5IiFkafs 51gWjK+SyHqMJmTaJMmGn8y0gOWbPyjwjhJaIE/VcytiT+xaEKPSauiKVDEcsIie Y3S+SO8pd44MsY8BghtvEiVh34KXy0CF0rTW1m0Zz/auGElGRUw= =E9ju -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
