Aah=E2=80=A6 yes!  Thanks.

Well, I have various profiles, for instance, coreutils is in one profile
and info-reader is in another.  That=E2=80=99s why it appears to me unexpec=

That=E2=80=99s man-db. :-)

Well I am closing as =E2=80=99notabug=E2=80=99; although when using Guix as=
 environment
manager on foreign distro in some scientific context, it means that I
have to pass info-reader and man-db to all my profiles around when
working on some specific project.

Cheers,
simon

Well there's no info-reader right? So doing "info git" errors with no
"info" found.

If you add info-reader to the packages I get an INFOPATH search-path
(and of course then an info command is available and works).

So I think it is just that you didn't have the "consumer" of the
search-path, the package info-reader, in the profile. That seems like
the expected functionality of search-path but maybe I'm missing
something? Not closing in case it is me not you :)

(as an aside, I never remember the package for the same thing with
man...)

Hi,

Is it expected

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix shell -C git coreutils
[env]$ ls $GUIX_ENVIRONMENT/share/info
coreutils.info.gz  dir	git.info.gz  gitman.info.gz

/tmp/some-dir [env]$ exit
$ guix shell -C git coreutils --search-paths
export PATH="/gnu/store/jigy78ai2asmgwhxpxzq2dhqhqi8c4p6-profile/bin${PATH:+:}$PATH"
export GIT_EXEC_PATH="/gnu/store/jigy78ai2asmgwhxpxzq2dhqhqi8c4p6-profile/libexec/git-core"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

?  I was expecting an INFOPATH in the search path.

Well, it appears to me a bug but if I am missing something, feel free to
point me what :-) and then close.


Cheers,
simon
