Downside of (guix build utils): it makes it harder to modify switch- symlinks. I don't know if that's too much of a downside in practice. Also, there is a bug in switch-symlinks: (use-modules (guix utils)) ;; simulate an interrupted switch-symlinks (C-c, power interruption, ...) (symlink "target" "link.new") ;; now try again (switch-symlinks "link" "target") ice-9/boot-9.scm:1685:16: In procedure raise-exception: In procedure symlink: Bestand bestaat al: "link.new" If we move it to (guix build utils), I'd prefer the bug to be addressed first. Greetings, Maxime.
