Hi,
please could someone help me understand how guix organizes profile symlinks?
I can't find a full explanation anywhere.
So far I have figured out the following:
- original profile directories are named like: /gnu/store/<UID>-profile
- /var/guix/profiles/per-user/<USR>/ contains symlinks to the profiles associated with user <USR>
- symlinks in /var/guix/profiles/per-user/<USR>/ seem to take one of the following forms:
current-guix
current-guix-<N>-link
guix-profile
guix-profile-<N>-link
- the profile used by "guix package" for user <USR> is symlinked from:
~/.guix-profile -> /var/guix/profiles/per-user/<USR>/guix-profile
- symlinks to previous generations of that profile are stored as:
/var/guix/profiles/per-user/<USR>/guix-profile-<N>-link
where <N> is the generation number
- the profile used by "guix pull" for user <USR> is symlinked from:
~/.config/guix/current -> /var/guix/profiles/per-user/

Hi!
It seems that you've got it right so far! :)
You'll find more profiles in /var/guix/gcroots/auto: these are the roots
that are automatically created, e.g. when using the `guix package --profile=...`
among others.

Thankyou.
Btw, the email at the top of this thread was sent by mistake before I had finished writing it. I will continue correspondence on the next thread which contains the complete message.
