Hello! "Raghav Gururajan" <r...@disroot.org> skribis:

This command: guix package -p /run/current-system/profile -u almost does that, but eventually fails because /run/current-system is read-only. Hmm… Now, in principle, upgrading the system profile without upgrading system services is not a good idea, because it could lead to inconsistencies. For instance, the GNOME service consists of a set of Shepherd services and D-Bus services, but it also populates the system profile. All these things need to be in sync. > 2) "guix system --list-packages" lists all system packages in current system > generation. Could also add additional parameter (like "guix system > --list-packages #sys-gen") to list system packages in a different available > system generation. What about: guix package -p /run/current-system/profile -I ? Thanks, Ludo’.
