Hmmm, thanks ;-) Perhaps one could set the installation of nss-certs as:
1. A dependency to git, and 2. To print out the environment variable export GTI_SSL_CAPATH once nss-certs is installed. I have seen packages such as gtk3 on guix trigger similar variables to be set when they are installed and loaded from a specific guix profile, as such: guix package -p ~/some-profile -i -some-gtk3-app And then this would be recommended when calling up guix package -p ~/some-profile --search-paths Taken from the email above as an example: export XDG_DATA_DIRS="/home/lin/opt/guix-build-system/share" export GUIX_GTK3_PATH="/home/lin/opt/guix-build-system/lib/gtk-3.0" So yeah, it can be done ;-) On 10 May 2016 at 16:11, Ricardo Wurmus <ricardo.wur...@mdc-berlin.de> wrote: > > Dennis Mungai <dmng...@gmail.com> writes: > >> Hello there, >> >> I'm using git 2.7.4 from a guix profile, and here is my current environment: >> >> guix package -p ~/opt/guix-build-system --search-paths >> warning: failed to install locale: Invalid argument >> export >> PATH="/home/lin/opt/guix-build-system/bin:/home/lin/opt/guix-build-system/sbin" >> export XDG_DATA_DIRS="/home/lin/opt/guix-build-system/share" >> export GUIX_GTK3_PATH="/home/lin/opt/guix-build-system/lib/gtk-3.0" >> export INFOPATH="/home/lin/opt/guix-build-system/share/info" >> export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/home/lin/opt/guix-build-system/lib/pkgconfig" >> export >> GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH="/home/lin/opt/guix-build-system/lib/guile/2.0/ccache" >> export C_INCLUDE_PATH="/home/lin/opt/guix-build-system/include" >> export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH="/home/lin/opt/guix-build-system/include" >> export LIBRARY_PATH="/home/lin/opt/guix-build-system/lib" >> export ACLOCAL_PATH="/home/lin/opt/guix-build-system/share/aclocal" >> >> which env returns: >> >> which env >> /home/lin/opt/guix-build-system/bin/env >> >> Now, with git clone example over HTTPS: >> >> git clone --branch gn-latest >> https://github.com/genenetwork/guix-bioinformatics >> Cloning into 'guix-bioinformatics'... >> fatal: unable to access >> 'https://github.com/genenetwork/guix-bioinformatics/': server >> certificate verification failed.
