I recently learned about guix and would like to use it in my void linux build, but as I understand guix will be as a separate package manager. I intend to use it as an additional package manager (so I can set up environments for different programming languages and switch between them conveniently), but guix will constantly pull systemd, but I don’t have it on my system and don’t want it to be there How can I use elogind support for all compatible packages when installing programs through guix?
Could you elaborate on why you think Guix will attempt to pull systemd? As far as I’m aware, Guix doesn’t impose any hard requirement on systemd when installing it on a foreign system; the manual (particularly 2.1 Binary Installation) simply provides instructions for setting it up on systemd and Upstart.
I just found this blog post about setting up Guix on Void Linux if it helps at all.
Best answer, thx
