I had in mind my troubles where mixing multiple profiles gave me headaches finding documentation. For example, I have one profile for emacs related packages and one profile for routine R related packages. I still cannot see the info documentation for the info related packages unless I go about creating a dedicated environment. See (nota)bug #55709. Similarly, I am currently trying to work through an issue with my email configuration. Frustratingly many man page references don't go anywhere or just don't exist because there is confusion about where to look for this. That is quite confusing behavior for new users. =3D> https://issues.guix.gnu.org/55709 In my case I am hopeful there must be some way to extend the man and info paths when multiple profiles are activated, and maybe that would resolve my particular issue. I would love a suggestion to be placed in the cookbook about this.
