Dear Guixters,
Maybe I am asking too much to Guix haha. Maybe I don't.
So. Here is what I intend to do :
I want to write a Guix System definition that puts a .emacs.d directory
inside /root which is "usable". I don't feel the need to create a
regular user (I don't fear too much damages inside a disposable VM
context).
So I tried two options :
First, using an extra-special-file
(extra-special-file "/root/.emacs.d"
(local-file "emacs.d" #:recursive? #t))
But the resulting .emacs.d is put into the store and is not writable.
Second, using skeletons
(skeletons `((".emacs.d" ,(local-file "emacs.d" #:recursive? #t))))
But it seems it populate only regular users home directory. /root is
left empty.
Perhaps the issue is the local-file.
Perhaps I could change the resulting extra-special-file permissions if
it does not mess up the store.
Or perhaps I could create a regular user.
What would be "the way" ? haha
Cheers,
Jérémy
