guix on a foreign distribution: how to upgrade to new release

[Andy Tai]

Hi, sorry if this is some question with obvious answer that I might have
missed:

I installed Guix on a Fedora system as a "foreign" distribution after the
1.0.0 release.  Things work (except trouble with SELinux, but that is off
topic).

Of course later Guix 1.0.1 was released.   I did not do anything except to
continue to do

guix pull && guix package -u

periodically.

Now
guix --version

continues to show it is at version 1.0.0.   I wonder if this is as expected
or I missed something that I should do after a new guix release, to upgrade
to the new version?

Thanks

Hi!

You should check that you have ~/.config/guix/current/bin at the beginning of your $PATH. If this is already the case, run "hash guix" to update the binary cache of bash. Make sure you run guix from "current" and not /usr/local/bin or some other global location.

Hi,

Are you doing both `guix pull` and `guix --version` with the same user account?

Which guix do you use?
The one in `~/.config/guix/current/bin` or the one in `~/.guix-profile/bin`?


All the best,
