Guix packaging copy file to current users profile

Guix packaging copy file to current users profile

[Reza Alizadeh Majd]

Hi Everyone, 

How can I copy some configuration files, from my package archive to 
current users profile?  I need to copy some additional files from package 
archive to `~/.guix-profile/` path.

Thanks, 
Reza

Can you clarify what you mean by 'package archive'?

The files in ~/.guix-profile are a union of symbolic links to the
store directories of the packages in your profile.

So, if your package definition installs a file like this:

/gnu/store/...-reza-package/share/foo.txt

and you add 'reza-package' to your profile, then you will find the
file symlinked like this:

~/.guix-profile/share/foo.txt

I hope that helps!

Thanks fo your help,  

my package needs to install some `.scm` scripts beside  original package files. 
I just install them in wrong path, then I couldn't to import them inside guile
interpreter. 

after fixing the scheme files installation paths to `share/guile/site/2.2/` symlinks
built successfully in `~/.guix-profile/share/guile/site/2.2./`.
