“… that runs the build daemon of the @url{https://nixos.org/nix, Nix}
package manager. Here is an example showing how to use it:”
> +@example
> +(use-modules (gnu))
> +(use-service-modules nix)
> +(use-package-modules package-management)
> +
> +(operating-system
Add a line like:
;; @dots{}
> + (packages (append (list nix)
> + %base-packages))
> +
> + (services (append (list (service nix-service-type))
> + %base-services)))
> +@end example
> +
> +After @command{guix system reconfigure} you need to configure Nix for your
> +user, e.g.:
> +
> +@example
> +$ nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable
> +$ nix-channel --update
> +$ ln -s "/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/$USER/profile" ~/.nix-profile
> +$ source /run/current-system/profile/etc/profile.d/nix.sh
> +$ nix-env --install hello
> +$ hello
> +@end example
Can we instead simply add a link to upstream documentation for this? I
would feel more comfortable that way.
Otherwise LGTM, thanks!
Ludo’.
