[jgart]

Hi Zhu,

Thanks for the contribution. APPLIED. Sorry for the delay.

I tested this patch series in the following Guix container:

(use-modules (gnu))
(use-package-modules certs package-management)
(use-service-modules nix)

(define %simple-os
  (operating-system
    (host-name "komputilo")
    (timezone "Europe/Berlin")
    (locale "en_US.UTF-8")
    (bootloader (bootloader-configuration
                 (bootloader grub-bootloader)
                 (targets '("/dev/sdX"))))
    (file-systems (cons (file-system
                          (device (file-system-label "my-root"))
                          (mount-point "/")
                          (type "ext4"))
                        %base-file-systems))
    (firmware '())
    (packages (cons nss-certs %base-packages))
    (users (cons (user-account
                  (name "alice")
                  (comment "Bob's sister")
                  (group "users")
                  (supplementary-groups '("wheel" "audio" "video")))
                 %base-user-accounts))))

(define-syntax-rule (simple-operating-system user-services ...)
  "Return an operating system that includes USER-SERVICES in addition to
%BASE-SERVICES."
  (operating-system (inherit %simple-os)
                    (services (cons* user-services ... %base-services))))

(simple-operating-system (service nix-service-type))
