Hi Guix,one problem that I’ve stumbled upon with R packages is that new versionsoccasionally depend on new inputs. “guix refresh -u” updates the version number and the hash for me, but it doesn’t tell me that new inputs are needed — or that existing inputs have been dropped — according to upstream’s DESCRIPTION file. Usually, these things become obvious when I rebuild all updated packages, but it’s possible I miss something. Do you think “guix refresh” should also mention changes to inputs?
I think it would be nice. Similar things happen for Perl packages. -- `~Eric
