Hi I think the current logging is good enough. I vote for closing this as Brenton did not answer during a long time and nobody else thought this was worth implementing. We could add a note to the manual with a very general pipe output tip, but it would probably just clutter an already large manu

This feature request isn't specific to guix build (it was low priority to me as I knew it at least had the ability to log, thanks for telling me it automatically does but it doesn't really change this feature request), it's asking for all guix commands with substantial output to automatically log.

I'm afraid I have no knowledge of Guile or Scheme. Looking at the Guile manual seems to indicate to me it's a language quite unlike most languages I've coded in. The only exception is that it does look a little like Emacs Lisp. On 26 May 2017 at 04:10, Arun Isaac wrote: > > Brenton Horne writes:

Hi, As I understand it only the guix build command has an option to log output to a file. I would like to request that each guix command have the option at least (if not automatic like it is for Gentoo's Portage package manager) to log all output to a file. I believe this will help both users and
