Hi!
I get an error when running =guix lint=:
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE text
$ ./pre-inst-env guix lint catch2@3.8.1
guix: lint: command not found
hint: Did you mean `lint'?
Try `guix --help' for more information.
#+END_EXAMPLE
I'm not in a guix shell though.
The guix handbook talks a lot about running =guix style=, =guix lint=,
etc. in chapter 22.10 Submitting Patches[0] but nowhere mentions the
use of `./pre-inst-env` or `guix shell`, so there is some room for
improvement here, I guess.
Chaper 22.2 Building from Git[1] mentions to run =guix shell -D guix
-CPW=, but if I try to run =guix lint= in there, I'm getting errors
about network access. If I add the =--network= parameter, it still
complains about SSL certificates not being verifiable, so I needed to
run this in the end, which finally worked:
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE text
$ guix shell --container --link-profile --nesting --network
--development guix nss-certs
#+END_EXAMPLE
IMHO this should be documented somewhere.
It took me, reading a lot of documentation, asking a friend who is a
seasoned guix developer and asking on IRC a number of times to piece all
the necessary bits together.
And the error message about =lint= not existing and asking whether I
have misspelled it and rather meant =lint= doesn't make sense and IMHO
should never happen.
Cheers
