Code

guix system: 'describe' shows the running system, not the current one. 

* guix/profiles.scm (generation-number): Add optional 'base-profile'
parameter and use it.
* guix/scripts/system.scm (process-command): Add "/run/current-system"
as first argument to 'generation-number'.
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix system): Clarify that 'guix system
describe' shows the running system.
