Interesting.
You are best off creating an Issue (https://issues.guix.gnu.org), explaining
the situation and attaching your patch there.
Thanks, I'll do that.
I don't know which team is likely to pick this up, so it might be worth seeing
if anyone on guix-devel has an interest when you have the bug number. If you
can please reference any AWS documentation that supports the need for the
top-level directories to be in the previous layer.
I haven't been able to find this documented by AWS other than this item
on re:Post:
https://repost.aws/questions/QUx_W7JnkvTdqGhQ2LglQ8dA/lambda-function-from-container-missing-parent-directory
I also checked the OCI image specification; all their examples include
all the parent directories, but they don't say outright that this is a
requirement. I can see why it might be, though: if the parent
directories are missing from the tarball, there's no way of knowing the
intended owner and permissions. I guess other consumers of these images
just use some sensible default.
