I guess I'm still a little confused. Suppose that I want to update all packages, on my system. The ones owned by root, and the ones owned by all other users. Then I'd do this?
$ guix pull && guix package -u $ logout $ login DifferentUser $ guix pull && guix package -u ...repeat for all other users... $ su # guix pull && guix package -u && guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm Does that look right?
