Re: Finding the channel in which a package is defined

[Konrad Hinsen]

Tobias,

Thanks for your reply!

> Does the ‘location’ field of ‘guix show PACKAGE’ do what you want?

Taking coreutils as a test case, it displays:

   gnu/packages/base.scm:328:2

as a link pointing to:

   
/gnu/store/3qykwxq1mqlin3lrb93s3rzi1ah5xia8-guix-module-union/share/guile/site/3.0/gnu/packages/base.scm

and that is the same file that is opened with "guix edit". But it's a
copy of the input source file that is part of some channel, so the
provenance is lost.

Cheers,
  Konrad
