Subject: home-files-service-type - naming restrictions?
Date: Mon, 26 Dec 2022 14:53:25 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20c3fa76-7ea6-6565-f569-90d48b602856@teulu.org> (raw)
Good afternoon,
I have a home configuration which has worked without issue for some
time, but now I wanted to add the configuration files for urxvt:
(home-environment
(packages ...)
(services
(list
...
(simple-service 'urxvt-config
home-files-service-type
(list `(".Xresources"
,(local-file
"/home/paul/dotfiles/home/file/.Xresources"))
`(".config/urxvt"
,(local-file
"/home/paul/dotfiles/home/files/.config/urxvt")))))
I am getting the error:
guix home: error: invalid name: `.Xresources'
This leads me to three questions:
1. Is there a constraint on file naming with home-files-service-type?
2. If so, is there another mechanism I am supposed to use to create
.Xresources?
3. So I can find my way through this type of problem in the future, is
there some way I can see the source code to home-files-service-type
apart from digging? For a package, I know I can use guix edit <pkg-name>
to see the definition, but I can't see how to do this for
home-files-service-type.
Thanks!
