Subject: [bug#78378] [PATCH 0/2] home: services: Build "files" union allowing dangling symlinks.
Date: Sun, 11 May 2025 18:00:50 +0200

This patch enables guix home users to create arbitrary symlinks in their home
environment. I.e. a user having "/storage" directory (probably residing on
another disk partition) could symlink e.g. "~/.mail" from
"/storage/data/mail". 

Sergey Trofimov (2):
  gexp: Add symlink-to procedure.
  home: services: Build "files" union allowing dangling symlinks.
