Just curious: why for root?  Do you prefer su to sudo, or does it=20
make a real difference?

Hmm.  It's important to note that Guix's (historically-named)=20
=E2=80=99mysql-service=E2=80=99 actually uses MariaDB by default:

  ;; From gnu/services/databases.scm:
  (define-record-type* <mysql-configuration>
    mysql-configuration make-mysql-configuration
    mysql-configuration?
    (mysql mysql-configuration-mysql (default mariadb))
    (port mysql-configuration-port (default 3306)))

However, the =E2=80=98mysql=E2=80=99 package *is* actually MySQL, not Maria=
DB.

I don't know how compatible the two projects still are, but it's=20
probably much safer to install =E2=80=98mariadb=E2=80=99 instead.

  $ guix package -i mariadb
