That's true. And I don't have any other packages in mind, really. I first had this idea after roptat was talking about adding ocaml bindings for z3 [0]. He wrote: "it builds the bindings in a separate output, instead of a separate package, because they're part of the same source, and it doesn't look like it's possible to build them separately [...] I'm just not very happy it's part of the same package, because it's less discoverable vs ocaml-z3" So, I do think there is room for improvement to this aspect of the UI. > There are other packages that provide different features in > different outputs, but the majority of multiple-output packages have the > “standard” outputs: “doc”, “bin”, “lib”, “debug”. Right, and it would not be worthwhile to add anything to the UI for these. The 'output synopsis' would only be printed in the UI if we actually defined a synopsis for it. That way, we wouldn't have 16000 lines of noise like "debug symbols for foo" in `guix package --search=.` > So maybe we could look at the ‘git’ package (can it be split into > several packages? would that help?) in addition to the UI, and also make > sure the UI is optimized for the most frequent cases. Good question. The Git package is super complicated, so I'm not feeling very motivated to think about how to rewrite it :) [0] https://logs.guix.gnu.org/guix/2021-03-11.log#194242 https://issues.guix.gnu.org/46329

Just a side note: our =E2=80=98git=E2=80=99 package uses outputs in a rathe= r unusual way. There are other packages that provide different features in different outputs, but the majority of multiple-output packages have the =E2=80=9Cstandard=E2=80=9D outputs: =E2=80=9Cdoc=E2=80=9D, =E2=80=9Cbin=E2= =80=9D, =E2=80=9Clib=E2=80=9D, =E2=80=9Cdebug=E2=80=9D. So maybe we could look at the =E2=80=98git=E2=80=99 package (can it be spli= t into several packages? would that help?) in addition to the UI, and also make sure the UI is optimized for the most frequent cases.

They can't find `git send-email`, and the Guix package UI doesn't make this clear enough. I had the idea that package outputs besides 'out' and 'debug' should have very brief descriptions that are exposed in `guix show` and `guix search` and the `guix package` equivalents. So, maybe it would look like this: ------ $ guix show git name: git version: 2.31.1 outputs: out send-email svn credential-netrc credential-libsecret subtree gui * send-email: Tools for an email-based Git workflow * svn: Provides git-svn, for bidirectional operation between Subversion and Git repositories * credential-libsecret: Whatever that is * subtree: Who knows? * gui: A graphical interface for exploring a Git repository * etc... systems: x86_64-linux i686-linux dependencies: asciidoc-py3@HIDDEN bash-minimal@HIDDEN bash@HIDDEN curl@HIDDEN docbook-xsl@HIDDEN expat@HIDDEN gettext-minimal@HIDDEN glib@HIDDEN libsecret@HIDDEN openssl@HIDDEN pcre2@HIDDEN + perl-authen-sasl@HIDDEN perl-cgi@HIDDEN perl-io-socket-ssl@HIDDEN perl-net-smtp-ssl@HIDDEN perl-term-readkey@HIDDEN perl@HIDDEN pkg-config@HIDDEN python@HIDDEN subversion@HIDDEN tcl@HIDDEN tk@HIDDEN + xmlto@HIDDEN zlib@HIDDEN location: gnu/packages/version-control.scm:173:2 homepage: https://git-scm.com/ license: GPL 2 synopsis: Distributed version control system description: Git is a free distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency. ------ The output of `guix show` and `guix search` are in recutils format, and we'd need to make sure that these new UI elements continued that valuable tradition.
