Every now and then I rebuild Guix and hit the problem where I run ./configure and then I am reminded that I need to instead do:
./configure --localstatedir=/var IIRC this is because of GNU standards about default paths and pretty much no other reason that we don't default to /var. But I think Guix is a special case. Should we ask maybe for an exception? There's no reason for users to bump into this. It's annoying even for me, and at least I know (or think I do) why. - Chris
