Upon completion, ‘guix package’ tells which additional environment variables may need to be defined. There’s also ‘guix package --search-paths’ and the generated ‘etc/profile’ file. Do you think we need something in addition to this? I was under the impression that Guix does better than the alternatives when it comes to environment variable settings, but of course, I’m biased. ;-) Thank you, Ludo’.
