Luis Felipe,
I think that would be very helpful. I'm trying to think of a
concise, correct, but actually useful definition of profiles for
someone not already familiar with them or Guix.
Out of curiosity: how do you intuitively understand profiles, as
someone who's used Guix for a while?
Luis Felipe via Bug reports for GNU Guix 写道:
[...] what is the GUIX_PROFILE variable, does it accept a single
path to a profile or more, and some use cases and
examples. [...]
I don't think we should document GUIX_PROFILE. It's not part of
the definition of Guix profiles. It should not matter to users
nor should they rely on previously observed behaviour. AIUI there
are no supported ‘use cases’, beyond copy-pasting Guix error
messages...
Similarly, the GUIX_PROFILE variable doesn't seem to be
defined. It seems missing from the concept and programming
indices.
...so this part isn't unexpected.
Kind regards,
T G-R
