guix home uses guix package directly imported from (gnu packages
package-management) gnu/home/services.scm:22
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/home/services.scm#n22
It looks like for now it is used only here gnu/home/services.scm:283
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/home/services.scm#n284
It is quite unfortunte to see guix home to pull whole extra copy of guix
only to use few files to do gettext localization init.
If would be nice to be able to customize guix package used there so I
can make sure guix used by guix home is the same as in my guix daemon.

Yes, it’s a bit heavy-handed.

I’m not sure I understand. As you write, the ‘guix’ package is used in
(gnu home services) only to get gettext catalogs; AFAICS it’s not used
for anything else.
Could you clarify what you had in mind?
Thanks,
Ludo’.

I was hit by this one yesterday as well. I tried to manage just a few
config files with Guix Home on foreign distro, but it started to
download 46 megabytes of guix package, while I expected it to work
completely offline.

Ouch. We should do better indeed, though I’m not sure how.
One solution would be to not need those catalogs on the build side in
the first place, which means making sure that error handling and logging
always happens on the “host side”, as is the case for pretty much
everything else.
