Subject: bug#28727: Profiles with intentionally out of date packages are upgraded to the newest version
Date: Sat, 7 Oct 2017 16:14:38 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <96695834-ef08-db88-32b8-3b61066bb6f1@uq.edu.au> (raw)
Hi,
I have a profile with python@2 in it, and running 'guix package -u'
updates it to python@3, which isn't what I want. I cannot run 'guix
package -i python@2 -u' because then it tries to install both python@2
and python@3, which conflicts.
I can workaround this using 'guix package -u; guix package -i python@2'.
That isn't ideal (wasteful downloading of substitute, extra entries in
the generations list, etc), but is workable for me, making this a low
priority bug for me.
Ideally, I would expect that because I specified python@2 first, guix
should not try to install python@3. However, this difficult because IIUC
the packages which were specified to be included are not stored
anywhere, and I suppose it would entail changes to the manifest format
also. So, how to handle this?
Thanks, ben
