Hi,
I'd like to create a symlink to a store object somewhere in my home-directory and register this symlink as a root, to avoid the garbage collector removes the store object.
How can I achieve this with existing guix means?
Background: Vagrant has the means of distributing virtual
machines as "boxes", tar.gz files which are downloaded and then
extracted into some cache directory. When Vagrant creates a
virtual machine based on that box, it copies the disk-image to
some working directory. The cache content is (almost) trivial,
thus I wrote a small script creating the required files in the
cache directory and sym-linking the disk-image there. Of course,
the garbage collector should not remove the disk-image a long as
it is used (= linked from the box cache).
