Hello Florian,

I agree that this is a problem.  It has been discussed before, and various 
solutions have been suggested, but I don't think install hooks was one of
them.

Can you elaborate on your idea?  What would an install hook do, and how would
it work?

     Hello,
     
     Currently my ~/.guix-profile/share/glib-2.0/schemas/gschemas.compiled
     file contains only GSettings from one package. Guix warns about
     ???arbitrarily choosing??? this file when installing a package. This is
     bad; gschemas.compiled should be recreated on package install to
     include all GSettings stored in the Guix profile.
     
     Arch Linux uses hooks to compile GSettings schemas after installing a
     package.

     Am I correct in that Guix does not support install hooks? I believe
     install hooks are the proper way to solve this. This affects more
     than just GSettings.

     Florian
