Sorry,

For compiled in defaults there is some support for expansion, see Config::get_default() in common/config.cpp. In particular the following should work: "<$HOME|.>/.guix-profile/lib/aspell. Due to the way the code is written an alternative must always be given, in particular "<$HOME>/.guix-profile/lib/aspell" is unlikely to work. You could also use: "<home-dir>/.guix-profile/lib/aspell". Note that the expansion is only for compiled in defaults, if the value is manually set, then there is no expansion.

When you do "aspell --config" it will print the defaults and then also what it expands to.

    The problem is that dict-dir is typically
    “$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/aspell”, so we can’t choose it at configure
    time (unless Aspell expands “$HOME”?).

    Even if we did, we’d like to offer users the ability to choose
    dictionaries located in a different place.

    How would you achieve that?

    Thanks for your reply,
    Ludo’.



ehm, are there any news on this ?
