Hey, Does anyone have any advice about making the mysql service configuration more flexible? At the moment, its not even possible to use a custom configuration file without modifying the Guix source code.
My initial thoughts revolved around at some level providing access to a
data structure like:
(("mysqld" . (("datadir" . "/var/lib/mysql")
("socket" . "/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock")
("port" . "3306"))))
This could be part of a record, that can be built in to the
configuration file. This could also be a general feature, as I'm sure
other services will use this format, I spotted Avahi when looking
through the code.
I also spotted the define-configuration syntax, which looks like it
might work well, but I wanted to check if this was definitely a
direction more services were heading before attempting to write out a
large part of the supported configuration options.
Thanks,
Chris
