Hi Ricardo,
Thank you very much for the detailed explanation. I had installed Guix 7
or 8 months ago and hadn't updated it since then.
Thank you also for explaining about the internet connection and also how
to download the binaries. Indeed, downloading the source and
configuring, building, installing and testing every package took a lot
of time! Downloading binaries would be much more convenient.
I was also surprized why this older version of Python (and many other
packages) is being used! I hadn't changed any default setting when I
installed Guix, so I don't know why it is not updating Guix itself.
But I must confess, I still haven't had the chance to read the manual
(and understand things better) as fully as I like. I really like the
Guix approach to package management, I just don't have the time to go
into the details now.
Soon, I will uninstall the current version of Guix on my system and
install the new one.
Thanks again for all the great work on Guix,
Cheers,
Mohammad
