Hi,
Thanks for the report.
Roel Janssen <address@hidden> skribis:
I'd like the output of a command like "guix package -l" to be tabbed
preserving all columns.
An example output of the current version:
Generation 68 dec 18 2013 12:46:45 (current)
make 4.0 out /nix/store/...
automake 1.14 out /nix/store/...
...
What I would like to see:
make 4.0 out /nix/store/...
automake 1.14 out /nix/store/...
...
The same applies for the output of "guix package -I" and "guix
package
-A"
As discussed on IRC, the rationale (for -I and -A) was to have
something
both human-readable and processable–that is, one can pipe it through
‘cut’ and extract the data. I think that’s an important property,
for a
Unix command-line tool.
Now, ideally, ‘guix package’ would be just one of the user
interfaces,
with others being more user-oriented than command-oriented (see
TODO)...
What do you think?
Ludo’.
