[patch] Explain how to exit and clean up a guix environment

2021-02-12 Thread Lee Fallat
Hey, It'd be useful to explicitly state how to do this. While my guess of exiting the shell (or ctrl-d) was correct, not everyone will know! Also there are people like myself who like to reduce storage usage if possible on machines which don't have much, like on netbooks or ultra- books. I've men

Hi Leo! Leo Famulari 写道: I thought that the use of -frozen and -next might help avoid mistakes during the active part of the cycles. Ah, there's my blind spot. What kinds of mistakes? When is it harmful to push to the open branch? I say ‘the open branch’ because core-updates and core-upd

Installing a guix pull profile in VM and systems

2021-02-12 Thread Julien Lepiller
