Subject: bug#71887: Raise an error when extending a service type that doesn't support extensions
Date: Mon, 01 Jul 2024 18:10:27 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <877ce4dar0.fsf@freakingpenguin.com> (raw)
Hi Guix,
At present it is possible to extend service-types that do not implement
compose or extend methods, resulting in surprising behavior that's hard
to debug [1]. We should throw an error when a service-type that does not
have compose or extend fields is extended.
