Vincent,

I don't know guix team's stance on that kind ow work (I still have not polished my work enough for review). But it looks like you stumbled on some painful items, that ought to be resolved one way or the other.

The only reason for Guix to have any shell code at all is to run in places where Guile isn't (yet) available. Therefore it should be portable between GNU systems, or it might as well be Guile. I don't believe GNU implies bash.

It would be nice to hear that those are actionable items that will receive positive feedback before doing substantial work. (Looks like
I should have asked that earlier, before falling into the rabbit
hole...)

Big upz from me.  Thanks for being proactive :-)

The challenge is keeping new bashisms out, so sudo please try to include some automated tests. Maybe you can use shellcheck; our test suite could use a GHC dependency.

Kind regards,

T G-R
