I don’t think we should do this. The copy of the configuration file used to build the system is a read-only copy in the store. It gets copied to /etc/config.scm on boot along with many other files from the system profile’s “etc” directory. On a reboot any changes to the file are lost again. It is clearer to let the user specify the configuration file than to default to /etc/config.scm, which wouldn’t even be under version control (which is what we recommend). -- Ricardo GPG: BCA6 89B6 3655 3801 C3C6 2150 197A 5888 235F ACAC https://elephly.net
