A service is not the same as a shepherd service; we also have activation services that run once and only create a file or a directory.
Revisiting, this wasn't too hard, actually: Using (guix gexp) implied:; Create /tmp/.X11-unix and make it writeable to, as required by weston-launch with XWayland enabled:
(define mkdir-x11-service (simple-service 'mkdir-x11 activation-service-type #~(begin (let ((p "/tmp/.X11-unix")) (mkdir-p p) (chmod p #o777))))) Or perhaps rather: (define mkdir-x11-service (simple-service 'mkdir-x11 activation-service-type #~(begin (use-modules (guix build utils)) (let ((p "/tmp/.X11-unix")) (mkdir-p p) (chmod p #o777)))))I can't find anything that suggests a way to automatically add such a service to the operating system, if xorg-server-xwayland (or anything else that would use that dir) is installed.
