Re: Possible error in the manual?
Nate Bargmann n...@n0nb.us skribis: Reading through the Guix manual I am in section 3.2 Invoking guix package and tried the --show=package option. I receive the following error from Guix: $ guix package --show=emacs guix package error: show=emacs: unrecognized option Running 'guix package --help' indeed shows no option named '--show'. Running 'guix --version' returns guix (GNU Guix) 0.7 ... Could it be that this is actually a pre-0.7 installation? Or perhaps ~/.config/guix/latest points to a pre-0.7 version? This option appeared in 0.7. Does the online Guix manual reflect unreleased features found only in the repository? Or is this a superseded option and the manual is lagging a bit? The on-line manual corresponds to the latest release, currently 0.7. HTH, Ludo’.

I double checked and Guix is reporting the version string I quoted above. I don't see pre- shown anywhere. I installed the GNU System from: ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/guix/gnu-usb-install-0.7.i686.xz which is the link (more or less) provided in the online manual. The on-line manual corresponds to the latest release, currently 0.7. Thanks, Ludo. - Nate -- The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true.

This should be visible in the directory name in: readlink $(type -P guix) Embedded in the returned string is 'guix-0.6.0-'. I do recall seeing that reference during the installation and wondering why the previous version would be downloaded. Now I know. To get a newer Guix, it should be enough to run ‘guix pull’. That should give you the ‘--show’ options and lots of other bleeding-edge things. ;-) Thanks, I will try that. - Nate -- The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
