From: Nicolas Odermatt-Lemay <nodermattlemay <at> gmail.com> To: bug-guix <at> gnu.org Subject: guix-for-channels stuck in a loop Date: Sat, 20 Apr 2024 22:38:58 -0400
[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hi,
The procedure guix-for-channels seems to have introduced a loop. I am
currently using guix with commit 43a4215cad8c6da357f895569c0cedf5e854cee0.
Here are the steps to reproduce :
1. Take the example file system/examples/vm-image.tmpl
2. Add the guix-science channel as explained in
https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Customizing-the-System_002dWide-Guix.html
3. Run the following command : $(guix system vm vm-image.tmpl) -m 1024 -smp
2 -nic user,model=virtio-net-pci
Here is the modified vm-image.tmpl with the guix-science channel added as
well as an excerpt of the output of the guix system vm command (where it
loops).
Thanks, and please let me know if I can provide more details.

After testing again, everything is working as intended. The mistake was surely on my part. Sorry for the noise !
