Hello,

I'm running Guix on a foreign distro, Debian, with systemd. I installed 
Guix with the shell installer script.

The documentation 
https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Invoking-guix-publish.html 
mentions (at the bottom) that I can execute the following command to 
enable the Guix Publish service:

ln -s ~root/.guix-profile/lib/systemd/system/guix-publish.service 
/etc/systemd/system/

However, the file 
~root/.guix-profile/lib/systemd/system/guix-publish.service does not 
exist (actually, ~/root/.guix-profile doesn't exist).


Philippe.

As a temporary workaround, you can install the `guix` package in the
root's profile.

The problem stems from the fact that the `guix pull`-built guix doesn't
include many extras that the Makefile-built guix has, like that file.
Maybe we should include it in the `guix pull` build, so that it is
easily available and updated?

Best,
