Subject: lookup which file can be found in which package
Date: Fri, 02 Jun 2023 19:36:18 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <875y85ybjs.fsf@wmeyer.eu> (raw)
Hi everyone,
Is there a quick way in Guix to figure out which package provides which
file similar to what other package managers provide with dnf
provides/apt-file search/nix-locate etc.?
So far I haven't found a command doing this reading documentation, but
maybe there's a way to query the substitute servers if a certain file
can be found? nix has nix-index/nix-locate to query if a binary cache
has a derivation containing a specific file; which would roughly be what
I'm looking for in Guix as well.
Regards,
Wilko Meyer
