I believe this is user error rather than a 1.5.0rc1 error but I don't
see what I did wrong. I can provide details for each step if they are
relevant and wipe are retry if there is something I should do differently.
Errors:
* On generated system
o guix pull
Updating channel 'guix' from Git repository at
'https://git.guix.gnu.org/guix.git'...
guix pull: error: Git error: failed to connect to
git.guix.gnu.org: Operation timed out
* guix pull --list-generations
guix pull: error: profile
'/var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/current-guix' does not exist
Unexpected:
* guix --version on generated system returns 1.4.0-47.21ce6b3 rather
than the 1.5.0rc1 that was used to generate it
Scenario:
* Created a fresh debian 12 vps instance
* Installed guix using the guix-install script
o GUIX_BINARY_FILE_NAME=/root/guix/guix-binary-1.5.0rc1.x86_64-linux.tar.xz
/root/guix/guix-install.sh
o Installer required newgidmap which was not installed. Installed
with apt install rootlesskit
o guix --version verified 1.5.0rc1 was installed
* Created two partitions for a guix system install
* Installed guix onto partitions
o guix system init guix-minimal-config.scm /mnt/guix
o where guix-minimal-config.scm was...
