I remember wrestling with a similar problem in the past, only to find out that it was limited. I now use the canonical 'pinentry' package, which seems most featureful. HTH, -- Maxim

Re: share guix and its store between distributions
Hi Emmanuel, Do you expect to share exactly the same packages in Debian vs guix, or just an overlapping subset? I assume that if the packages are the same, and they're building the same versions, then the hash identifying them should be the same, and guix should refrain from rebuilding the package (and simply set up the link to the store). If they aren't the same, then you have to make sure the system A does not clean up any packages used by system B and not system A. I guess this is why you mention GC roots. My gut feeling is that that will be a lot more complicated, because you have to trick guix into getting its garbage collection "wrong". Perhaps you could keep the two stores separate, but mount them as a union file system? So system A would mount system B's store into its own, read-only. System B would be able to build additional packages not found in A, but could not clean up system A's packages. I don't know how guix would react to such a permission error. I think it expects to be the only master of the store.

I used Debian for twenty-five years and switched to GNU Guix eighteen months ago. I see no reason to run both, but I also like being at the frontier. Why do you need Debian? Kind regards Felix

share guix and its store between distributions
Hello Guix, Is there a way to share Guix and its store between several distributions? My situation is that I have a Guix system installed as my main system, but I would like to install another distribution on the same machine (a current Debian, specifically) and use Guix as a package manager there, in order to benefit from its ability to create reproducible environments. Of course, it works to have the other distribution completely independent, with its own Guix store. The only thing is to handle Grub correctly to give access to both distros. But it feels like a significant waste of resources, since I will end up having many things in both stores. Moreover, ideally I would like to share home directories between the two distributions, by mounting the same partition as /home, and still be able to use `guix home` and `guix shell` in both distributions. By some minimal tuning, I can make it so that users have the same UIDs and GIDs in both distributions. But I imagine that using Guix in both distributions can become problematic if they don't share the store and the state in `/var/guix`, for instance if they don't share GC roots. Is there a proper way to make that work? Or is it a bad idea? -- Emmanuel

Store file names / how to intern files in subdirectory?
Hello, I'm working on my home-systemd-service, and systemd cares about the file name behind links. Specifically, it emits a warning when the file name of the link target does not match the link name. Example: ls -alh ~/.config/systemd/user/default.target.wants/greenclip.service -> /home/nl/.config/systemd/user/default.target.wants/greenclip.service -> /gnu/store/pznbc8xxhfkwxjbaff9h982cy4df1y1a-greenclip.service results in this log message: "default.target: Wants dependency dropin /home/nl/.config/systemd/user/default.target.wants/greenclip.service target /gnu/store/pznbc8xxhfkwxjbaff9h982cy4df1y1a-greenclip.service has different name". Still, I would like to fix this warning. The file is a serialized configuration created with (mixed-text-file "greenclip.service" (serialize-configuration ...)). If I change the first argument to "test/greenclip.service", I get an error, so it's really just the file name, not a path. I understand it makes no sense to try to get /gnu/store/greenclip.service, but would it be possible to achieve /gnu/store/pznbc8xxhfkwxjbaff9h982cy4df1y1a-greenclip.service/some-directory/greenclip.service? Or are files always saved at the "top level" of the store? Nils
