There’s a further complication here: ‘profile-derivation’, which builds
the profile, doesn’t know its user-visible name ~/.guix-profile. It
just knows its store file name. However, we don’t want etc/profile to
read:
export PATH=/gnu/store/...-profile/bin:$PATH
because then, the user’s environment variables in a running session
would keep pointing to a given profile generation.
So we have to tell ‘profile-generation’ what the user-visible name of
the profile is going to be. Attached is a very rough patch to do that.
This is not so nice because all user interfaces will now have to pass
that #:target parameter or etc/profile will be “wrong.”
Another option would be to simply run:
eval `guix package -p ~/.guix-profile --search-paths`
This has two downsides:
1. It takes ~200 ms to run on my laptop, which can maybe be
noticeable; OTOH it’s only for interactive shells, so maybe that’s
OK.
2. If there’s a manifest format change and /etc/profile calls a ‘guix’
command that cannot handle the manifest format (because it’s older
than the ‘guix’ used to build the profile), then it doesn’t work at
all (that’s a bit contrived, but not completely impossible.)
Thoughts?
Ludo’.
