Hi, Is there some reason why "guix pull" keeps profile symlinks in ~/.config/guix instead of under /var/guix/profiles?
I'm looking into installing Guix on multiple computers with shared user accounts and /home on NFS. So far the possibilities seem to be: a) master node running guix-daemon [1] - will "guix gc" destroy guix/current profiles if /home is not mounted on the master node? What if some users have local home directories and some are on nfs? b) guix-daemon on every computer - then /gnu/store and /var/guix/profiles will by local and user profiles can be different on every computer, but ~/.config/guix/current will link to nonexistent store item if "guix pull" was invoked by the same user on a different machine. Can/should this be fixed? Another question is why ~/.config/guix/current/etc/profile does not define all necessary environment variables (PATH is there, but no INFOPATH, GUILE_LOAD_PATH and GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH)? It would be convenient to source it in .bash_profile the same way as normal guix-profile instead of defining all necessary variables explicitly.
