Not sure if it should be considerated as a bug but it seems that the upstream VCS information are only available after a "guix pull".

If it is not a bug, it will be nice to have this information even on a fresh install by putting as VCS information a default git repository (https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git) and the current tag as commit (or the real commit if available somewhere in binary install files) ?

Best regards,

You mean that ‘guix describe’ doesn’t work for ‘guix’ not obtained from
‘guix pull’, right?

I agree it’d be nice.

Thanks,

Not exactly but has the same behavior indeed.
I was talking about upstream VCS informations in ~/.guix-profile/manifest (user profile manifest)
Every packages installed with "guix install xxx" from a fresh install ( 1.0.1 in my case ) doesn't have upstream VCS informations in ~/.guix-profile/manifest as you described here ( https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2018-10/msg00018.html ).
Those informations only appear after a "guix pull" and think those informations should be available even on a fresh install.

Ah yes, it’s the same issue as with ‘guix describe’.

Thanks,
