Hello Guix,
I would expect guix package --list-generations=…h to display
generations from the past … hours, but apparently it displays
generations offset from UTC midnight (apparently not local time?) and
not the current time, since guix/ui.scm calls a procedure named
time-at-midnight.
In particular, when `guix package --list-generations` shows
Generation 38 Dec 15 2018 13:04:16 (current)
then I would expect
$ date --date="Dec 15 2018 13:04:16" +%s
1544875456
$ date +%s
1545989113
$ guix package --list-generations=$(((1545989113-1544875456)/3600+1))h
to display the current generation.
I think either the time for hours should not be computed from midnight
and should use local time for days/weeks. Alternatively, the
description in the manual should be adjusted.
Regards,
Florian
