The usecase I am thinking of is for a project. Let's say you had a guix package file to automate and document project dependencies. Let's say I wanted to declare a variable in project package file so that "eval `guix environment --search-paths ...`" would set up the environment with the needed variables plus the ones I wanted. Example environment variable; export MSG='Hello world!' Thanks in advance for any help or info. Sincerely, -- Matthew Jordan Sent with my mu4e
