Hello,
If I download the latest installer and use it to install a new system, the "guix system init" command will install the guix package defined in the (gnu packages package-management) module. That means that if the installer is built with a guix package at the version N in that module, the guix installed by the installer will be at version N-1. Besides the fact it is quite disturbing there are at least two major issues: * If the guix package is broken, it needs to build updated twice. I recently added a comment about that: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- ;; If you are updating this package because it fails to build, you need to ;; actually update it *twice*, as the installer is pointing to the N-1 guix ;; package revision. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- * When the guix package is updated twice in two separate but near commits, Cuirass that is checkouting Guix every 5 minutes might miss the intermediate version of the guix package. Hence, the installation is taking a while because the guix package is expensive to build. Any idea on how to improve this inception problem? Thanks, Mathieu
