Subject: Guix pull fails on OS definition
Date: Thu, 12 Aug 2021 15:07:30 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <XuiNO__2DiHjRIShy3jrWviAo_1W_nySZQXxwBBW4-WrvhHm8vTOJExOoRqalb16GEZ4veXI4kfTi4HAwtA2vFrGfhGEZyLQ15zjGvrL7wo=@protonmail.com> (raw)

Hi Guix,
Till now I've used custom channel for package definition only. However, I want to add to the channel also the definition for the operating system.

The problem is when I run =guix pull= the command fails. The reason is probaly due to the newly added configuration file which returns OS as a result. Without such a file the commands succeeds.

Is there a way to tell Guix not to evaulate such a file?

I looked into the Guix channel and the files are there with the extension tmpl. That however, didn't help.

In the gnu/system.scm file there is at the end expression with note:
"This is not super elegant but we can't pass SYSTEM and TARGET to 'operating-system-derivation'

So is this the right direction to pursue and dig little bit deeper into the store-lift function?
