Hello everyone, I am trying to get more serious about Guix, and I have a few questions about how to develop Guix and the associated Git workflow. The manual in chapter 14.1 (Building from Git) explains most things pretty well.
My first question is regarding `guix git authenticate`. The first time I ran it after a `git clone ...` and `guix environment guix` I got an error saying that the `keyring` branch cannot be found. So I did a `git checkout --track origin/ keyring`, but I got a different error instead: $ guix git authenticate 9edb3f66fd807b096b48283debdcddccfea34bad "BBB0 2DDF 2CEA F6A8 0D1D E643 A2A0 6DF2 A33A 54FA" Authenticating commits 9edb3f6 to ec32c85 (3 new commits)... guix git: error: commit ec32c8591eb111023db514800145532a1e454125 not signed by an authorized key: F5DA 2032 4B87 3D0B 7A38 7672 0DB0 FF88 4F55 6D79 Finally I did a `git pull` on both the `keyring` and the `master` branch and the check passed. So my first question is: did I do it correctly? If not, what is the correct workflow? My second question is regarding the `.po` files which get changed during the build process. Git shows me a number of language-specific files as modified, even though I never touched them by hand. Should those changes be commited? Should I include them when I send a patch? Why are they even version-controlled if they get changed automatically? My last question is about the local state directory. The manual says the pass my current local state directory (by default `/var`) to `./configure`, but then my store gets mutated. I would prefer not to store my weird experiments where my day-to-day packages lie. I know I can revert at any time, but I'd rather not. I instead created `./var` and passed `$(pwd)/var` to `./configure`. The question is, is this the way to go? When I tried building a package (`/pre- inst-env guix install go-github-com-junegunn-fzf`) Guix complained that there was no deamon running, so do I need a second shell running the deamon (`sudo - E ./pre-inst-env guix-daemon --build-users-group=guixbuild`) as well? Thank you in advance.
