I see that's how it's done with the existing service, but why sed the .in file when we could let configure.ac take care of it?

I'll try that on a VM of a foreign distro soonish and report. Thanks!

Because --storedir can in theory be something like '$prefix/store',
which would not get properly expanded by configure.  See "Installation
Directory Variables" in the GNU Autoconf manual:

  https://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.69/html_node/Installation-Directory-Variables.html

(in particular scroll down to the notice about AC_CONFIG_FILES)

¯\_(ツ)_/¯!

TBH I wondered the same thing but am not in deep-dive mode ATM.

Thank you!  I'm still in the middle of reinstalling Guix on my 
main laptop, which should give me back my magical KVM powers.

Kind regards,

Speaking of things I wondered: I'm no systemd wizard but I think 
‘enable --now’ would be equivalent and less repetitive.

Kind regards,

I tested it on a debian VM and it worked well. I tested the installer script and it fails at installing the .mount unit, because it does not exist in the tarball.

After installing the unit manually, I could start the .mount service and found that I was not able to remove store store items with rm. I checked that Guix is able to install new store items.

For non systemd distros, adding the following line to /etc/fstab works:

@storedir@ @storedir@ none defaults,bind,ro 0 0

Then running "mount -a" remounts the store read-only.

I'm not sure how to integrate this properly in the installer script.

Hello Tobias,

As this will conflict with the work I'm preparing (runit, openrc,
non-interactive-mode, busybox compatibility, local binary tarball
& misc cleanups)

I'll give it a spin on a bunch of different OS versions (fedora
rawhide, debian 9 & 10, devuan, alpine & void/i686) later today.

Hello Tobias,

shouldn't your patch also add: /etc/gnu-store.mount
to .gitignore ?

I'm doing the tests now, stay tuned for the results.

Probably, it's not a file I ever think of.  Done.

How does this conflict with your work?

I'll get a merge conflict in etc/guix-install.sh and
maybe also in nix/local.mk but that's OK, it will be
simple enough to handle.

Hello Tobias,

yesterday's today is in fact today's today...

I was too pessimistic, I'm not getting any merge conflict.

Your patch seems to be working nicely, I tested on a range
of VMs:

x86_64: alpine devuan fedora debian_stretch debian_buster
i686: void

guix is still working properly (search, show, build, gc,
package -i, -r, -l, -d)

And `rm -rf /gnu/store/*hello*' was correctly prevented
on the systemds (debian*, fedora) and the other ones let
the delete run.

LGTM

I'll try to come with something for the other init systems
and add that to my series...

Happy to hear it.  Git can be remarkably clever with 3-way merges 
sometimes (and disappointingly dense at others).

Thank you for being so thorough.  You've given me the confidence 
to push this to master as 
1a1faa78b0498fbb71f1533beb4b65817c1d3f2a.  Guess I'll leave this 
bug open since it only solves it for systemd.

I hope we can avoid touching users' fstab but don't know enough 
about these other systems to say.

Thanks!

That's a patch, not a bug, though :-).

I'll close it now to spare someone else the time it took me to read
through and see whether bits had gone uncommitted :-).

Thank you,

Maxim
