Well, I think you’re really asking for a new feature; we need more than
just talk to a remote daemon.
Updating profiles like ‘guix package’ and ‘guix pull’ do involve two
things:
1. building the profile—this is done by talking to the daemon;
2. modifying things in /var/guix/profiles & co.
GUIX_DAEMON_SOCKET addresses #1 but not #2.
For #2, we would need to do something like Jakub did in (guix scripts
system reconfigure), where the effectul bits can be transparently
evaluated either locally or remotely.
But really, that’d be a brand new feature, so I’m marking it as a
wishlist if you don’t mind. :-)
Thanks,
Ludo’.
