Nothing special.
I'm afraid that I 1] poorly worded the report 2] misunderstood OK, let me retry. I have Gentoo installation, guix 0.8 built using my ebuild and installed into system. According to this part of documentation http://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/guix.html#Invoking-guix-pull I should be able to call `guix pull' and my guix will be updated. It's not written there that it will be installed to ~/.config/guix/latest but guix prints it in the end. So, when I call it: tcech@venom ~ $ LC_ALL=C LANG=C /usr/bin/guix pull starting download of `/tmp/guix-file.cSPiQM' from `http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/snapshot/guix-master.tar.gz'... http://git.savannah.gnu.org/.../guix-master.tar.gz 6836.6 KiB transferred unpacking '/gnu/store/6z3z7lfk7a52l6pd28qz0qzq9q4mpfjq-guix-latest.tar.gz'... ;;; note: source file /home/tcech/.config/guix/latest/gnu/packages/dwm.scm ;;; newer than compiled /home/tcech/.config/guix/latest/gnu/packages/dwm.go substitute-binary: guix substitute-binary: warning: while fetching http://hydra.gnu.org/nix-cache-info: server is unresponsive substitute-binary: guix substitute-binary: warning: try `--no-substitutes' if the problem persists substitute-binary: guix substitute-binary: warning: while fetching http://hydra.gnu.org/hkc3fkchhwsan4g6f6hyvcja2i9xzwhs.narinfo: server is unresponsive substitute-binary: guix substitute-binary: warning: try `--no-substitutes' if the problem persists The following derivation will be built: /gnu/store/0nygspjlcxh0p1wijdlpia8qda0qnbby-guix-latest.drv waiting for locks or build slots... updated GNU Guix successfully deployed under `/home/tcech/.config/guix/latest' and then ask for version: tcech@venom ~ $ LC_ALL=C LANG=C /usr/bin/guix --version guix (GNU Guix) 0.8 Copyright (C) 2014 the Guix authors License GPLv3+: GNU GPL version 3 or later <http://gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html> This is free software: you are free to change and redistribute it. There is NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by law. I can see that still old version is used. The problem is - documentation is missing some important part that I need to set up environment so new version will be used (adjusting PATH and GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH?) or - guix should check for installation in ~/.config/guix/latest by itself and does not Please, ignore the part with `guix package -i guix' - it will just cause installation of third instance of guix and this one will show higher version as environment is set for installed packages correctly. And this part confused me before. I hope I made it more clear now. Thanks, S_W
