Hi Simon, I didn’t manage yet to get into my profile. .......................................................... I created a profile with one package "Musescore" in:
home/gfp/Projekte/Musescore in the directory "Musescore" I have got 2 directories: "guix-profil" and "guix-profil-1-link" and one file: "guix-profil.lock" (0 Bytes) .......................................................... I should get into my profile with: source path/to/some-profile/etc/profile …do some stuff… exit Instead, you can run guix shell -p path/to/some-profile …do some stuff… exit .......................................................... What does it mean in my case? Kind regards Gottfried Am 06.02.23 um 18:21 schrieb Simon Tournier:

Indeed, it should be possible, IMHO. But I have not checked if it is technically possible. Maybe it is already. :-)In conclusion, I'm a bit surprised that activating multiple profiles at once is so easily found and recommended in the cookbook. It seems to me like there are many underemphasized gotchas with respect to reproducibility and usability which come from it and as far as I can tell, the main developers of Guix do not use it that way. If it is going to be recommended as atleast a possibility for advanced users, then it would be nice to be able to formally test that usage through ~guix shell~.I am using multiple profiles and I barely hit collisions. Given one specific revision of Guix, collisions should not be possible – it means something is wrong somewhere with package definition; although, maybe it is impossible to avoid some collisions with large number of packages, anyway. :-) Most of the time, collisions happen when the profile are coming from different revision of Guix. And try to combine several profiles from different revision is, IMHO, some source of troubles impossible to solve. That’s said, yes I would also like being able to combine several profiles and also extend the result. Cheers, simon
