Oh, thank you very much for the specific solution! It worked for
me flawlessly.
Actually, where did you get local-host-entries from? The documentation
page you and Bruno cite doesn't seem to ever mention this function :O
Unless I am looking at some old version of the docs.
> Also, I agree the documentation needs some love here.
I am willing to contribute. What would be the best place to do changes
to the documentation?
I would follow this mini-roadmap:
1. Add the explanation of local-host-entries to
https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/devel/en/html_node/Service-Reference.html#index-hosts_002dservice_002dtype
2. Say here
https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/operating_002dsystem-Reference.html
that hosts-file is deprecated.
3. Update the examples here to use hosts-service-type instead of
hosts-file: https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/guix.html
What do you think?
I've never submitted a patch to Guix docs before, so all suggestions and
hints are welcome :-)
