Subject: Questions regarding "Relocatable" option
Date: Tue, 19 Jun 2018 18:18:52 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <DB6P18901MB002276566EBFC63CD1D3974EDB700@DB6P18901MB0022.EURP189.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM> (raw)

Hi Guix,

First, thanks for making my day when i read some days ago the post about "Relocatable", what a great news and a killer feature ! Far better than my trick exposed past weeks ago to Ludovic and even better than the wrapper i had imagine to write :)
When "proot" will be included in the binary tarball and implemented with "relocatable", it will be awesome ! 

Some questions coming from this new feature that i don't already tested :

- Could we hope to see it included in the next release ?

- Could we hope to see it included by default in the binary tar.gz of this next release to be able to use guix directly in an unprivileged environment ? ( i dreaming of this every night ^^ )

- Does the "relocatable" could be the default option and have an "--no-relocatable" option for people who want to avoid the little extra time to start an application ?

- While a i write those questions, i just wondering, after compiling Guix with  "relocatable", does it mean we could packaging Guix itself with the "relocatable" option, be able to use it in an unpriviliged environment , and by the way, having the answer to my second question ^^ ? :)

Best regards, Guix it is really a good project
