Hi Ludo; Okay, I did those steps exactly:
- clone - patch -p1 < your-patch - ./bootstrap - ./configure --localstatedir=/var - make check - sudo -E ./pre-inst-env guix system reconfigure /path/to/myconfig.scm - reboot I had no issues or errors at any step and on reboot ssh-daemon tried & failed to start so all went according to plan, but /tmp does *not* have a ssh log file in it. Not sure where this went sideways, any advice?
