I hope you come back soon! Even though these kinds of things can be a rocky road sometimes, bug reports and feedback by people like you are essential for driving improvements in Guix.

This is why Nix discontinued their wiki site. I feel your pain here, Fis. I have felt the same way when I've been bitten by specific problems with various technologies, including Guix and Guile. But Oleg is right: ultimately, putting specific solutions to specific problems like this in the manual does not tend to improve the quality of the manual. =2D-=20 Chris --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEEy/WXVcvn5+/vGD+x3UCaFdgiRp0FAlptQIwACgkQ3UCaFdgi Rp2f8A//QQjHmRCNGKV2wJYruMjadsy5iyxnRImA2EjC9CeQewJcw3c0HSuIl8MB 55u072k1eKf913wFTaIH+SCV/qoIO7RktBsJHZypbkPZhvkRm/JUymZ9pg7iwy1M UU1niKDbZI0PsQpuaXdfYwUbVML3Inw4x3lFDQT4AEbhpvvJ/KJVQNG/qLwC8Rka X7nHE8YpxqRG/ZTITMKmApR8o0/KSQaxFk1OUC+eLtgpOF636WpUP7B7YcPjey+k Jm+uQ9h3mi22m7MGSNjAZKESl1ne7IpcJyQOKvzbvB5TPYS24M2mPLLwbOP4Z0x+ S59azXciLQ0rgnhMST6aM/uJ6GapPHnHbgu+rf794Iqj4OLhQGdgLJIf62Nsy9AC V8LHWbIfCnBEuNyIc+cezCRb834nsmf4Hl8fvsOt7q0/dgyyJS/4GjC4JezEqjuk bhQmRTAOyfQdNXgvwkTLk6IpWkk8GD/LOZdPwmFFi6iU7PQkpzfwk5hsf04ghK/P 2l+scScgffDHGvfKlED9PRYSS441q1BH+2qNpxk0D3xjjMaUjKKv5efh65gzbhEE d17ssCOCWdoawvMHNMmmixuzSdEQ1IcCXUMZXotxvhvfW6w3OF2BptNVYAG0l0o8 IQCYn1AMPlhxeffs0F/5KNt0/ul1NqDXytgHgmx9vB3LyEoAtMc= =itpT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
