3.5 More Package Commands

And some more commands related to packages:

M-x guix-number-of-packages

This command just displays a message (in the minibuffer) with the number of available packages. Along with the default Guix packages, this number includes the packages from GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH environment variable (see Package Modules in The GNU Guix Reference Manual).

M-x guix-package-graph

Show a package graph. You’ll be prompted for a package name, graph backend and graph node type (everything can be completed with TAB key). See Graph Configuration, if you want to set an external graph viewer.

M-x guix-package-size

Show a package size (see Invoking guix size in The GNU Guix Reference Manual). You’ll be prompted for a package name and a size type (it should be either “text” or “image”).
