Re: User group during build process

[Tobias Geerinckx-Rice]

Hi Maya!

So... You cannot change group ownership in the store.  There are no additional 
user groups in the build environment.  The chgrp failing is by design ('it's a 
feature, not a bug'), and there's no way to subvert this.  The group is not 
required during the build process.

The correct way to make smtpctl setgid is to use Guix System's setuid-programs 
field, and use (setgid? #t) (group "smtpq") for smtpctl.

Kind regards,
