How about making sure that 'guix pull' works between major releases? That should be reasonably easy to test. When there is a disruptive release for guix pull make sure the user upgrades to the closest previous release first. I.e., multi-step releases are less fraught with breakage. That way you get an incremental path to upgrade. And you only need to test between major releases. Pj.

That=E2=80=99s a reasonable goal and one that should be easi= er to achieve now with the new =E2=80=98guix pull=E2=80=99. Note that swedebugia was talking of a pre-0.10 GuixSD, more than 2.5 years old, which represents a looong time for a pre-1.0 piece of software that evolves pretty fast. :-) Thank you, Ludo=E2=80=99.

Trying to get an updated an old GuixSD installation via guix pull on a pre= 0=2E10 GuixSD returned an error message about gexp-modules not found=2E (d= etails can be provided if asked)=2E

I suggest we either test pulling from old versions (and fix errors) or mak= e it clear in the manual that pulling from very old GuixSD (older than 0=2E= 12?) is not supported=2E

Stating this clearly help people know what to expect=2E

What do you think?
