Hey all,
I am experimenting with the inferior system a little bit. I am
attempting to see if I can specify a specific version of the linux-libre
kernel to be taken from an inferior and applied to my system
configuration.
(define kernel-channel-inf
;; This is the old revision from which
;; we will obtain our desired kernel version.
(list (channel
(name 'guix)
(url "https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git";)
(commit
"fd41243c819635795f4e4bdef1e2823db5234e24"))))
(define kernel-inferior-proc
;; An inferior representing `kernel-channel-inf'.
(inferior-for-channels kernel-channel-inf))
(operating-system
...
(kernel (lookup-inferior-packages
kernel-inferior-proc "linux-libre" "4.19.81"))
It took me some experimenting to come up with this, in that
experimenting the channel revision was built and cached. However, when I
run `guix system build config.scm` with the above code snippet, the
process just hangs on
Updating channel 'guix' from Git repository at
'https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git'...
I am not sure how to proceed to achieve what I am hoping for. Any
thoughts?
