Or you could change the source so it doesn't expect the source to be deep in a directory structure. -- Efraim Flashner אפרים פלשנר GPG key = A28B F40C 3E55 1372 662D 14F7 41AA E7DC CA3D 8351 Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed on emails sent or received unencrypted signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Append a suffix /tmp/guix-xyz/foo/bar/your-pkg or a prefix /tmp/foo/bar/guix-xyz/your-pkg? Change the prefix means changing the TMPDIR environment variable of guix-daemon (priviliged user). At first look, I do not know how to add something between guix-xyz-drv-0/ and your-pkg/. Curious to know how. :-) Hope that helps, simon
Re: Package workspace relocation
I just need to add a prefix to the directory in which the Git source is cloned, because its build system requires that. I don't care which TMP directory Guix daemon uses for its build root. I just need for `/my-project` to become `/foo/bar/my-project`. It sounds like what you suggested will do the trick, if I understand it correctly. Thanks.

I'm not sure that I fully understand what you are asking. However, the location of the build directory is controlled by the TMPDIR variable, which is set in the environment of the guix-daemon. You can set it to any location that you want. An alternative per-package approach is to add a build phase before the 'unpack' phase and do something like `mkdir -p foo/bar && chdir foo/bar`.
