Hi,
I've noticed that if I do the following...
guix package -p .guix-profile -i hello
guix package -p .guix-profile -i coreutils
guix package -p .guix-profile -r coreutils
...I get profile generations like the following:
.guix-profile-1-link -> /gnu/store/mbvwb1pv8ps0l39gil41g4zj3khx3r8p-profile
.guix-profile-2-link -> /gnu/store/m6cwnnxcccnd8bga52jxn74vm67n7ry1-profile
.guix-profile-3-link -> /gnu/store/qfpmx9rz7kxa8w8r2pz4vj8ilbi70dcp-profile
However, the 1st and 3rd generations are practically the same:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ diff -r /gnu/store/mbvwb1pv8ps0l39gil41g4zj3khx3r8p-profile
/gnu/store/qfpmx9rz7kxa8w8r2pz4vj8ilbi70dcp-profile
diff -r /gnu/store/mbvwb1pv8ps0l39gil41g4zj3khx3r8p-profile/etc/profile
/gnu/store/qfpmx9rz7kxa8w8r2pz4vj8ilbi70dcp-profile/etc/profile
11c11
< export
PATH="${GUIX_PROFILE:-/gnu/store/mbvwb1pv8ps0l39gil41g4zj3khx3r8p-profile}/bin${PATH:+:}$PATH"
---
> export
> PATH="${GUIX_PROFILE:-/gnu/store/qfpmx9rz7kxa8w8r2pz4vj8ilbi70dcp-profile}/bin${PATH:+:}$PATH"
[1] address@hidden:/tmp/tmp.ZOTdkBr4rD
$
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Now, this isn't really a problem, since it isn't wasting space, and it
doesn't take long to build. It's more of a curiosity. Why is it that
profile generations 1 and 3 don't both point to the same profile in the
store? Is this expected behavior?
I wasn't sure what would happen when I tried this. I had guessed
(incorrectly) that generation 3 would point to the same profile that had
been built for generation 1, so I was a little surprised by this.
