Hi Alizadeh,
Good to see some interaction from PantherX :)
I'm not sure I understand your question, so let me rephrase and please tell me
if it's not what you wanted to ask. When you upgrade the distribution with guix
pull, you can get a list of what could be upgraded using, say, guix package -n
-u. Your question was, I think, how to do that for globally available packages.
If that is your question, the answer is quite simple. The set of globally
installed packages is installed in a separate profile from the user profile.
You can use the same command as before, specifying that other profile, to get
the same result, with globally installed packages:
guix package -p /run/current-system/profile -n -u
