You are right, these are (almost?) the same. Ephemeral could also be imagined without spawning a some process, but also without registering a "root". But this would not work, since as soon as one runs "guix gc" while such an environment is active, the environment would be destroyed. -- Regards Hartmut Goebel | Hartmut Goebel | h.goe...@crazy-compilers.com | | www.crazy-compilers.com | compilers which you thought are impossible |
