Subject: "System Package" vs "System Service"
Date: Sun, 28 Apr 2019 11:59:59 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <db4267309302f97bb9827e0f86937b0c21cf24eb.camel@disroot.org> (raw)
Hello Guix!
I have this confusion/doubt. What is the difference between declaring
something as "System Package" vs "System Service" in the Guix System
Configuration?
For example, if I have application[s] (installed as user or in system)
that uses Tor to connect to Internet via Tor Network; is it better to
declare "tor" package under system packages (or install as user) or to
declare "tor-service-type" (with default configuration) under system
services? What actually happens between the former and latter scenario?
Thank you!
Regards,
RG.
