Either way, I want to use a different TMPDIR environment variable for the Guix daemon. I=E2=80=99d like to 1) start guix-daemon with an environment in which TMPDIR is set to /tmpdir and 2) change my Guix system configuration so that it automatically creates a /tmpdir directory. On systemd I just change the TMPDIR for Guix using `systemctl edit guix-daemon` but how do I set this environment variable on GuixSD? I cannot find this information in `info guix` but maybe I should have searched more carefully. Regards, Florian
