Subject: inferiors and services
Date: Mon, 15 Feb 2021 21:03:52 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <uea1bS4vJZrufbDbaJVBNWkzCwiIAPfRVa8ZBJ5Dg9GlpBDgXEGflsO4KAMHJRjn7MpVJ9Q1_IbWYYlu0e6xIkD5jjwvHuVlFG1y5ljqjwk=@protonmail.com> (raw)
Dear guixians,
During the operating system instantiation -- either through `reconfigure`, or various `image` procedures) -- is the only possible way of controlling which version of services and the packages installable by those services to specify a particular commit in the channel config?
Inferiors help isolate a package manifest together with an user-controlled guix commit, so I was wondering if anything such is possible with the system itself (for example, during building of an image). In pseudocode:
(define inferior (inferior-from-channels ...))
(with-inferior inferior (reconfigure (operating-system ...)))
I am almost certain there is some gexp mumbo-jumbo-derivation-of-the-whole-system one can use, but not yet entirely comfortable with them.
