Subject: multiple profiles, and profiles for guix shell (environment)
Date: Fri, 29 Jul 2022 08:59:52 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CACxq9sW08TufDBPyWEsdE1zWTw0pBLdR3X8BSZquDgC5VxFS6A@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi there,
In the cookbook it is recommended that a profile be created for a shell
environment in order to prevent various dependencies from being garbage
collected, as well as to better manage updating and maintaining the
required packages. If this profile is added to a user account, would they
have access to the software from that profile globally, or just in the
directory where the project is located?
If globally, I can imagine that there would potentially be conflicting
versions, filesystems, etc. - see my recent post/query regarding a 32-bit
shell environment.
Kind Regards
Gareth
