I did:
$ ./pre-inst-env guix system build -e '(@@ (gnu tests mail) %dovecot-os)'
/gnu/store/gpl6g2ia84kc41zma7ik9y4p3kik5aiy-system
Then:
$ guix gc -R /gnu/store/gpl6g2ia84kc41zma7ik9y4p3kik5aiy-system | grep
dovecot.conf
/gnu/store/1ijjsm3sj8v0qj88fhlwqxgdszd6q6h7-dovecot.conf
And what I see in this file is now:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
namespace inbox {
type=private
separator=
prefix=
location=
inbox=yes
hidden=no
list=yes
subscriptions=yes
mailbox "Drafts" {
auto=no
special_use=\Drafts
}
mailbox "Junk" {
auto=no
special_use=\Junk
}
mailbox "Trash" {
auto=no
special_use=\Trash
}
mailbox "Sent" {
auto=no
special_use=\Sent
}
mailbox "Sent Messages" {
auto=no
special_use=\Sent
}
mailbox "Drafts" {
auto=no
special_use=\Drafts
}
}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Notice that location is empty. So that's at least different to your
findings, on latest commit. Can you still reproduce?
Thanks,
Maxim
