Hello Guix!

Hi Tobias!

I spent an embarrasingly long time trying to get this to work under Sway (I'm sure it works fine under a GNOME VM, that's not the point :-p) but had to give up.  It's not a blocker.

Sorry to hear that. I appreciate the help with the testing.

Documentation should teach something new, for example:

  “This service type makes the @uref{https://bitmask.net, Bitmask}  VPN
   client available to all users as a system package, and installs   the
   global system Polkit permission rules currently required for   users
   to run it.

   It will @emph{not} start a Polkit agent for you, as most   desktop
   environments provide their own.  Users who don't use such a   desktop
   environment must run their own agent in order to use Bitmask.”

Made the change. :)

+   (default-value bitmask)

That's OK if there's no way this service will need to be extended in future, which IIRC was the case, since eventually it should even be removed.

Yep, that's the plan.

Regards,
RG.

P.S:

Pushed as a329bc7e0c..02562e2f1e. Closing.
