Hi Guix,
I'm relatively new to the GNU/Linux world, so I apologise for any silliness.
I was looking ispell.el and saw:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defcustom ispell-look-command
(cond ((file-exists-p "/bin/look") "/bin/look")
((file-exists-p "/usr/local/bin/look") "/usr/local/bin/look")
((file-exists-p "/usr/bin/look") "/usr/bin/look")
(t "look"))
"Name of the look command for search processes.
This must be an absolute file name."
:type 'file
:group 'ispell)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
That's the usual path for most GNU/Linus distro (FHS compliant). But
for Guix System users it lives at /run/current-system/profile/bin/look.
It's obvious I can set the variable properly myself.
My question is: what should be done in such cases? I can think of the
following:
- Patch the Guix package
- Patch the program itself
- Nothing (apart from setting things myself)
Thank you.
