Hi Guix!

I came across some weird behavior with guix home.  I wanted to recreate a
working home environment from one machine on another (because I need a
working qutebrowser install :3).  I did this by doing "guix pull
--allow-downgrades -C" on my non-working computer using a channels file on
the working one generated with "guix package --export-channels".  However,
when I did "guix home reconfigure ...", old versions of packages were NOT
installed.  I was able to downgrade the desired package with "guix package
-i" (only that package was downgraded).

My understanding is that "guix home reconfigure" SHOULD behave like "guix
package --manifest", and install all packages in the most recent guix pull.

Very minor and not impeding me, but thought y'all should know,
-Zacchaeus Scheffer

I'm curious, after you did `guix pull --allow-downgrades -C`, did you
use `guix show foo` before reconfiguring, in order to check if the pull
had taken effect?

Also, did you pull and reconfigure as the same user, with the same
privileges? Remember that your "view" of Guix (i.e. `guix pull`) is
per-user.

That's my understanding as well.

Everything is done with the same user and same user/system config (other
than os host-name field).  I'm sure I didn't accidently run as root or
another user

I did not check, the command completed normally, so I believed.  See (far)
below for an example with guix show

Looking at guix package --list-generations, my packages were only modified
the one time I ran guix package -i qutebrowser.  After running guix package
-i qutebrowser, guix package --export-channels DID have the content passed
to guix pull -C PLUS the following comment:
;; Note: these other commits were also used to install some of the packages
in this profile:
;;   "97d97d7da1f5b500b2b76210131ca6adff6a1e80"

Looking at guix home list-generations, it looks like the generation has not
updated any of the numerous times I guix home reconfigured today after guix
pull --allow-downgrades -C'ing an old channels.  However, I was not able to
reproduce this behavior, so take it with a grain of salt.

To rule out the possibility that this is an already-solved problem, I tried
guix pull
guix home reconfigure ...
this DID create a new home generation but not package generation.  (Not
sure if that is expected.  Please someone tell me if this is abnormal.)  Now
ls -l $(which qutebrowser)
gives the old qutebrowser version but
ls -l $(which chromium)
gives the new chromium version.

I tried editing my home config and adding another package, "minetest".
 guix home reconfigure DID download "minetest" after "guix pull" and "guix
pull --allow-downgrades -C ..." (diff versions), but always "minetest" is
not in my path for even a fresh login shell.

To sumarize:
guix pull --allow-downgrades -C ...
guix home reconfigure ....
- > all package versions up-to-date
- > (no?) new home generation
guix package -i qutebrowser
- > all package versions up-to-date except qutebrowser downgraded
- > created a new package generation
guix pull
guix home reconfigure ...
- > all package versions up-to-date except qutebrowser downgraded
- > created a new home generation
guix pull --allow-downgrades -C ...
guix home reconfigure ....
- > new home generetaion
- > qutebrowser still downgraded
- > chromium upgraded
# add minetest to config
guix home reconfigure ...
- > new home generation
- > minetest installed (not sure what version)
- - > MINETEST NOT IN PATH
- > qutebrowser/chromium unchanged

Looking back, maybe guix home reconfigure has NEVER worked for my packages
and I haven't noticed because my most recent package manifest had all the
same packages.  My package defs in my home.scm look like:
(home-environment
 (packages
  (map
   specification->package
   (list
    ...
    "minetest"
    "qutebrowser"
    "ungoogled-chromium")))
 (services
  ...))

Now I feel more lost than before.  How could the above in a home
reconfigure, after a normal guix pull, not make even a fresh login shell
able to launch minetest?...

One last test to show off the weirdness:
guix pull
guix show qutebrowser     - > version 2.4
qutebrowser --version     - > version 2.3
guix home reconfigure ... - > full output below
guix show qutebrowser     - > version 2.4
qutebrowser --version     - > version 2.3

If you made it this far, thanks,
-Zacchaeus

I believe that's the main misunderstanding here, `guix home` acts like
`guix system`: it creates home generations, inside which there is a
profile.  That profile is _not_ ~/.guix-profile, but rather
~/.guix-home/profile.  They are disjoint and not operated on by the same
commands, guix home will not touch ~/.guix-profile.  If you configure
your shell environment variables with guix home alone, I believe only
the the guix home profile is available by default.

Best,
