bug#66705: ‘guix shell -CW’ provides a Guix command without extra channels
Hello! I’m glad to report that this bug is fixed by c90a4e8dcd6ac650392ffcc039273baf145aa3cc. In these examples, you can see that all my channels are present, both in a bare-bones ‘shell -CW’ (where bin/ is a direct symlink to the ‘guix pull’ profile) and in ‘shell -CW coreutils’ (where bin/ fuses that of coreutils and that of guix): --8<---cut here---start->8--- $ guix time-machine -- shell -CW -- guix describe shepherd 33bcc05 repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/shepherd.git branch: devel commit: 33bcc0517c0036589aeb55633d3b8e40a7157973 guile 54c4753 repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guile.git branch: main commit: 54c4753dd3f7506bee2778b36d7263b613ffd579 guix b7eb1a8 repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git branch: master commit: b7eb1a8116b2caee7acf26fb963ae998fbdb4253 $ guix time-machine -- shell -CW coreutils -- guix describe shepherd 33bcc05 repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/shepherd.git branch: devel commit: 33bcc0517c0036589aeb55633d3b8e40a7157973 guile 54c4753 repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guile.git branch: main commit: 54c4753dd3f7506bee2778b36d7263b613ffd579 guix b7eb1a8 repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git branch: master commit: b7eb1a8116b2caee7acf26fb963ae998fbdb4253 --8<---cut here---end--->8--- And of course, packages from these channels are now found: --8<---cut here---start->8--- $ guix time-machine -- shell -CW -- guix build shepherd guile -n substitute: updating substitutes from 'https://ci.guix.gnu.org'... 100.0% substitute: updating substitutes from 'https://bordeaux.guix.gnu.org'... 100.0% substitute: updating substitutes from 'https://guix.bordeaux.inria.fr'... 100.0% The following files would be downloaded: /gnu/store/d3kc0pww2ff9p06w0g30l0yag68ygns1-shepherd-0.10.99-tarball /gnu/store/k0jnqjxs43ra248rb0hqbb31yjbvb9jy-guile-3.0.99-git-debug /gnu/store/21q3cm08gda1yd9pi0vwrksvhgjk3qx8-guile-3.0.99-git $ guix time-machine -- shell -CW coreutils -- guix build shepherd guile -n The following files would be downloaded: /gnu/store/d3kc0pww2ff9p06w0g30l0yag68ygns1-shepherd-0.10.99-tarball /gnu/store/k0jnqjxs43ra248rb0hqbb31yjbvb9jy-guile-3.0.99-git-debug /gnu/store/21q3cm08gda1yd9pi0vwrksvhgjk3qx8-guile-3.0.99-git --8<---cut here---end--->8--- Ludo’.

Oh. Naive remarks. The ’guix’ in the manifest points to the correct
one with both channels.

Well, what appears to me weird is that the ’guix’ I type is incorrect
but points to a correct one.

Well, another way to express,
This is due to the fact that ‘-W’ (‘--nesting’) is implemented by adding
the outer ‘guix’ to the container’s profile, without also adding its
companion profile entries (those that provide channels).
is to note that the manifest file is incorrect and does not contain the
outer manifest file, right?
