* Create a symlink /usr/bin/env by default in GuixSD? @ 2017-01-21 0:18 Mekeor Melire 2017-01-21 9:43 ` Jan Nieuwenhuizen 2017-01-21 15:21 ` Ludovic Courtès 0 siblings, 2 replies; 3+ messages in thread From: Mekeor Melire @ 2017-01-21 0:18 UTC (permalink / raw) To: Guix-devel /bin/sh is often used in shebangs. I guess that's why GuixSD by default creates that symlink which points to /gnu/store/HASH-bash-VERSION/bin/sh which again is a symlink pointing to /gnu/store/HASH-bash-VERSION/bin/bash. /usr/bin/env is also used very often in shebangs. Wouldn't it make sense to also create that symlink? Maybe to /run/current-system/profile/bin/env? Maybe optionally, maybe by default? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

Until we have found a solution for this, I suggest we mention this issue together with some possible solutions in the manual. > Maybe to /run/current-system/profile/bin/env?

Please take a look at the previous discussion on this topic: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2015-11/msg00414.html In short, there’s no consensus, but it’s not much of a problem because people can add it for themselves: mkdir -p /usr/bin cd /usr/bin ln -s /run/current-system/profile/bin/env We could add a ‘/usr/bin/env-service’ or something to facilitate it. I have a preference for keeping the default unchanged, though. Ludo’. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
