Hey guix,
;tldr guix system reconfigure does not create a ~/.guix-profile, if
the file was deleted, nor does it change the symlink if the username
changed.
This seems like 2 tiny bugs. I recently installed guix on my Thinkpad
T400. (Thanks by the way! Sway works wonderfully!) When I first
created my user my user line looked like
#+BEGIN_SRC scheme
(user-account
(name "Joshua Branson")
(comment "Joshua Branson")
(group "users")
(home-directory "/home/joshua")
(supplementary-groups
'("wheel" "netdev" "audio" "video")))
#+END_SRC scheme
Later I changed the user name to '(name "joshua")' and reconfigured.
Guix was smart enough to create a new profile for me, but
.guix-profile still pointed to user account "Joshua Branson" not
"joshua".
$ cd ~/; ls -lha .guix-profile
.guix-profile -> /var/guix/profiles/per-user/Joshua Branson/guix-profile
So I removed .guix-profile and reconfigured.
$ rm ~/.guix-profile
# sudo guix system reconfigure sway.scm
I thought that guix is declarative, so it will recreate .guix-profile,
but it did not.
Thanks,
Joshua
