If yes, is it available somewhere? Else, is it documented somewhere? Did you copy/paste it from another Guix file? Stupid questions: why aren't you using service types? Whose responsibility should it be to provide the service(-type) definitions (`service.scm`)? The user? Guix? Both? To me, it would make more sense to have the service(-type) definitions come with the packages and have them instantiated/configured by the user, like in the config file used by `guix system reconfigure`? This would be in the file used by `guix user`, wouldn't it? If things were not clear to me, now they are all messed up in my head! ^_^' > The discussion is about how to add it (and user stuff in general) to Guix, > which is a big wriggly bag of tasty worms. What do you mean by "how to add it"? Is it about having a `guix user` command? If I can achieve something without it, it would already be great. Thanks again for your time! Regards -- Tanguy
