Re: '--load-path' option not working for 'guix system' command

[Taegil Bae <esrevinu@gmail.com>]

Dear Pierre,

Thank you for the reply.
I didn't know that '~' does not expands to $HOME in the case. But
actually I have used '-L ./my-guix'.
This option is not working with 'guix system', but is working with
'guix build' and 'guix package'.

root@antelope ~# guix build spice-vdagent --load-path=~/my-guix
/gnu/store/5wk50f4zhhmg0s599z3d6v5zraxp72jp-spice-vdagent-0.17.0
root@antelope ~# guix build spice-vdagent --load-path=./my-guix
