'guix system', for file-system-type, shows '(one of 'ext4', 'iso9660')' right in the options. also 'guix hash' allows other formats but doesn't have a list-updaters having "(one of 'tarball', 'squashfs', 'docker')" would be easier, but IMO my patch gives more information, specifically about squashfs and needing to run 'docker load'. -- Efraim Flashner אפרים פלשנר GPG key = A28B F40C 3E55 1372 662D 14F7 41AA E7DC CA3D 8351 Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed on emails sent or received unencrypted
