[PATCH v2] doc: Add snippet for running 'guix refresh' on installed |
Date: |
Wed, 17 Mar 2021 13:23:23 +0100 |
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix refresh): Add snippet that runs 'guix refresh'
on all the packages installed in the current profile.
---
Changes since v1:
- Correct the example snippet.
- Refer the reader to "Running Guix Before It Is Installed".
- Add suggestion to run `guix package -i --with-latest`.
