Hi, I don't like to leave questions open. What if someone else finds this in the future and wonders how we solved it? Find the answer below.

This is how lynX worked around it for my ebuild: pkg_setup() { enewgroup guixbuild g=0 for i in `seq -w 0 9`; do enewuser guixbld$i -1 -1 /var/empty guixbuild; if [ $g == 0 ]; then g="guixbld$i" else g="$g,guixbld$i" fi done # For some strange reason all of the generated # user ids need to be listed in /etc/group even though # they were created with the correct group. This is a # command that patches the /etc/group file accordingly, # but it expects perl to be installed. If you don't have # perl installed, you have to do this manually. Adding a # dependency for this is inappropriate. perl -pi~ -e 's/^(guixbuild:\w+:\d+):$/\1:'$g'/' /etc/group } With the current version I was able to build+install "hello". What's now missing is fixing the service, otherwise you can safely run Guix on Gentoo. > -- > Efraim Flashner <efr...@flashner.co.il> אפרים פלשנר > GPG key = A28B F40C 3E55 1372 662D 14F7 41AA E7DC CA3D 8351 > Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed on emails sent or received unencrypted > > -- > Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
