Thanks also for the details, I was just not expecting that much changes initially when doing a refresh only a few weeks after the preceding one. That means you're doig lots of work, which is great ! And to Tobias, yes, I was erring on the (too much) safe side, not really being sure what I'm doing... I'm still fairly new to guix, even if I lurked in the vicinity for a long time. Looks like I'm digging a bit deeper this time (bare-metal install on an old laptop in addition to the VM I did my previous attempts with...) And while trying to be useful, I don't want to disrupt or make others loose time on my early mistakes... Thanks all for the help, I'll go package something else now... -- Vincent Legoll
