Sorry, there is another thing I forgot. Currently ‘guix package --help’
displays the following:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Usage: guix package [OPTION]... PACKAGES...
Install, remove, or upgrade PACKAGES in a single transaction.
-i, --install=PACKAGE install PACKAGE
-e, --install-from-expression=EXP
install the package EXP evaluates to
-r, --remove=PACKAGE remove PACKAGE
...
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I think it is not clear that multiple packages may be installed/removed
by a single command. If it would look like this:
-i, --install=PACKAGE... install PACKAGEs
it may not be clear how the PACKAGEs are separated, since it is a common
practice to use "," to separate things after an "=" sign. So I suggest
to remove "=" from ‘--install’ and ‘--remove’ options:
-i, --install PACKAGE ... install PACKAGEs
In my opinion it is the most clear way for that. WDYT?
The modified patch is attached.
