On help-guix I initiated a conversation on using IceCat within a container
(<87vag2wopo.fsf@gnu.org>). This covers some of the lower-level concepts I
was thinking off. Specifically:

0. The ability to hide the user (and home directory) from procsses within the
container. This includes rewritting mapped paths;
1. Suppressing the behavior of automatically sharing cwd; and
2. Linking $GUIX_ENVIRONMENT to ~/.guix-profile.

The first two are for privacy (#1 is for conveinence, since creating an empty
dir just to cd into it is a bit klugy as a workaround). #2 was motivated by
my needs with font-config, but I can imaging that it'd be useful elsewhere
as well. It only really makes sense if you're not sharing your home
directory.

Mike Gerwitz (3):
scripts: environment: Add --link-profile.
scripts: environment: Add --user.
scripts: environment: Add --no-cwd.

Hello Mike,

There’s this last patch from the series you submitted a while back
that’s ready modulo an issue with the test. Could you take a look?

TIA,

I'm not ignoring this; I'll have time to look over the next couple of
weeks. I'll need to research the issue.

Good catch! The patches LGTM. (Note: you can use the ‘Co-authored-by’
tag for the second patch, I think it’s a more or less common
convention.)

Speaking of which, could you create an account on Savannah? That way we
could grant you commit access to make it more convenient for you and so
you can review and apply other people’s patches in your areas of expertise.

Please let me know what your account is, and reply with a message signed
by the key you’ll use to sign commits. Also please read the ‘HACKING’
file for info on the commit “rules”.

Thanks!

Ludo’.
