It’s true that %state-directory could differ on each machine. I think it’s uncommon though. I understand your concern, but I agree with Ricardo that what you suggest is not strictly required: commonly (my guess), people having /home on NFS won’t have the problem you describe. > I'm not sure exactly what benefit the ~/.guix-profile convention brings us, > except > perhaps that it is easy to remember. … and easy to type, and quite “natural”. These are the main reasons I guess, but they’re quite important. Thoughts? Ludo’.
