Hi all,
Refering to this section of the manual:
https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/guix.html#Locales-1
Is it possible in a foreign distro setup to define a set of base packages
in a global profile, set for all users?
I'm trying to avoid having to install a locale for each user account if
possible?
Thanks,
Phil.

Could probably create a profile somewhere and source that from the
default profile scripts or maybe the PAM environment scripts.
Something like:
$ guix package --profile=/var/guix-base-profile --manifest=/etc/guix-base-packages.scm
And add a line like this wherever the environment is set up, which I'm
honestly not sure where it is:
GUIX_PROFILE=/var/guix-base-profile source /var/guix-base-profile
It's important that the variable assignment is on the same line as the
call to source.
Alternatively you could write
export GUIX_PROFILE=/var/guix-base-profile
source $GUIX_PROFILE
which sets GUIX_PROFILE as a side effect, which might cause problems.
