Hi
Yesterday when I played around with guix I noticed that the default
behavior of
$ guix package --search
guix package: error: invalid argument: Missing required argument after
`--search'
has changed recently from showing all packages to now showing none.
also:
$ guix package --search *
guix package: error: invalid argument: Missing required argument after
`--search'
This is a bug. "*" should match everything.
Is this intentional?
This means that now users have to know guile to list all packages with
all the fields. :/

Cheers

This is not a bug.
The argument must be separated from the option with an “=”. The second
problem is that “*” is not a regular expression but a shell glob
pattern. You need to provide a regular expression. This works:
guix package --search=.*

Thanks!
We should document the regex syntax and an example I think.
