Subject: [bug#54393] [PATCH 0/2] Add 'guix manifest' to "translate" commands to manifests
Date: Mon, 14 Mar 2022 22:50:15 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220314215015.24435-1-ludo@gnu.org> (raw)

Hello Guix!

Writing manifests can be intimidating: in part because it’s not
well documented, and in part because it’s always hard to start from
a blank page.

We have ‘guix package --export-manifest’ to help with that, but I
realized that colleagues of mine often use ‘guix shell’ more than
‘guix package’, and ‘--export-manifest’ is awkward to use:

  $ guix shell a b c d --transform=whatever=else
  [env]$ guix package --export-manifest -p $GUIX_ENVIRONMENT

I figured that instead of documenting this, we might as well provide
a command that does it in one go:

  guix manifest a b c d --transform=whatever=else > manifest.scm

Voilà!

Thoughts?

Next up: adding a “Writing Manifests” section.

Ludo’.

  packages: Add 'package-unique-version-prefix'.
  Add 'guix manifest'.
