This ‘sexp->channel’ exists “for historical reasons”. Could you use
(@ (guix channels) sexp->channel) instead, together with
‘channel-instance->sexp’?
Actually, could you define it like so:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define home-provenance-service-type
(service-type
(inherit provenance-service-type)
(extensions
(list (service-extension
home-service-type
(service-extension-compute
(first (service-extensions provenance-service-type))))))
(default-value #f)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
More generally, perhaps you could have a procedure that takes a service
type and “rewires” it so that it extends ‘home-service-type’ instead of
‘etc-service-type’, say. Does that make sense?
