‘guix pack’ automatic environment for Docker format
Hello, I am trying to use ‘guix pack’ to provide my colleagues an easy to use compilation environment to run with Docker. My command to create the container image is the following $ guix pack -f docker -S /bin=bin gcc-toolchain bash cmake make pkg-config python@2 coreutils eigen jsoncpp googletest Then I run that image like this: $ IMAGE=`docker load -i docker-pack.tar.gz | cut -d' ' -f3` $ docker run -it $IMAGE /bin/bash in order for the compilation environment to be fully ready I need to source the /gnu/store...-profile/etc/profile for things like CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH, LIBRARY_PATH, ... While one obvious available solution is to add an extra symlink ‘-S /etc/profile=etc/profile’ and then source it manually. I was thinking that maybe 'guix pack -f docker' could set the ‘Env’ part in the ‘config.json’ [1] with the appriopriate environment variables automatically. I would like to know if it would be a good idea, and if it is easily doable? Thanks.

Or a limitation if the current implementation? It’s a bug; bug 22039 to be exact. -- Ricardo GPG: BCA6 89B6 3655 3801 C3C6 2150 197A 5888 235F ACAC https://elephly.net
