Maybe you can try: Indeed. That's at least an explanation, though I still don't see *why* it is done this way. In fact, the role of the package "guix" isn't really clear to me.\ > guix shell -C guix --with-version=guix=VERSION -- guix describe > > Or --with-commit etc. That's an interesting idea! I could also define my own package (in a file) called "guix-current" or something like that, which inherits from "guix" and updates the commit. Jim writes: > Or even: > > guix shell -C -p /var/guix/profiles/per-user/.../current-guix -- guix > describe That would create a container from the Guix profile. Not sure if this works at all, but it's very probably not what I want because I have to add other packages to my container, to get some real work done :-) Thanks to both of you for your suggestions!
