That explains why I had this issue in the past and it has since resolved itself. I'm sorry if this type of thing has been discussed before (I don't read every message on the Guix lists), but what about some way of indicating recommended packages as part of the package definition (a sort of soft dependency). Guix could then output to the user after installation that certain package(s) ought to be installed for things to work optimally. Guix could then be helpful to the user without expecting the user to have read all relevant sections of the manual (I have only read portions so far). `guix package` maybe could also have a flag to automatically install recommended packages into the user's profile. There are strong design considerations here; this is an oversimplification of the problem. =2D-=20 Mike Gerwitz --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJbh0HcAAoJEIyRe39dxRuiMC8QAIqP9Q6KCxzLI3Z89oau9HXX NwpB3eUdOLhRxBMp2sp1ED6/2wtZqovnysQR0LZIuVOvmysMlrCvuQrnOFOd5ZTj AMNCrDmL7ET3460vrLJTxsN7Bgv7CkhxFYWihkYMYiBxd5wJLf+Gr5gDXhcY+BuR r4SLGE6d9ByAiE1FsOTf9RqNmHyKgm5DviVQoagwexaKCTUCe3pxKvqFwIhCHdIV KSaRjFKtJy8yoREBLgkEDN1XUP0+EvDFkHragwNCof9gMrfL4OKWwpZY4wDhavjG K9vXdJ3iTzUwbnM7lanfdrm0IzTBAaRzwW6Xx7oxH2DZeRW9SAWWdIn6ZqhxaQo+ oULnvB8W/1MR98DwKMjnxkcqoLpAP+erNEn9T4xxqpEwsxT5bdOnK2YK6kC9l7e3 gWWtbxHcsCJcOhBn4ef5aSXMYYbkqJZhzg0BxVggUQbslAJK7raqnhdJMJlQISIn 9cak2kYUhB4s9WUVHjRoWY+r/gyiQXTe2+j5htp1dvwbMAAwoqMlAyFz+XjB5++/ 8hl6R1zQuN+UklbJrb0NqGe/p09ArAWUXduP5hJyBXixnQcECBZ64aWqMNFLEhTa NewFc3s26hnwWJAa43iIV8IChZ6tkr8sddFBWeGNoBX0YEjTpYMnTHl1t77vzF3f ZZuHGq2bM7PZJcAih14I =zHVZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
