The daemonize binary is only needed when using something other than systemd. I guess "systemd-sysv | daemonize" might be worth adding to recommends. > I get File "/var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/current-guix/bin/guix-daemon" is > not executable. The init script definitely needs to be patched to use /usr/bin/guix-daemon, and possibly changes to the locale settings (e.g. GUIX_LOCPATH and the hard-coded en_US.UTF-8 locale). > Also after installation there is no group "guixbuild" (see guix user manual > ยง2.41) Similarly, could add "systemd-sysv | opensysusers" to recommends to handle this. Another approach instead of recommends would be to add a README.Debian explaining how to set up when systemd is not installed. Would very much appreciate tested patches! live well, vagrant
