Everything works great, but I have a question on the upgrade of guix itself. I regularly do `guix pull && guix package -u` in my default user, but I rarely do it in root user. I don't know if I'm right, but the guix build users runs the guix of the version of root, so if I don't upgrade the guix of root, that will stay on the old version for good. Therefore, the guix of root should be upgraded as well, when the guix of the default user is upgraded; Am I right? If upgrading the root's guix is valid, then which guix should be upgraded before? I usually upgrade non-root user's guix before and then root's. I couldn't find a related topic on the manual, so I'm little bit confused. -- Attic Hermit
