Hello Andrew!

Thank you for replying promptly. Over the weekend I tried several
experiments, poured over Giux and Guile documentation and ended up
pretty much with two solutions that look very much like what you
suggested:

Seeing that the type for extra-content field "string-or-gexp", the
first solution was to create a string using get-string-all as follows:
(define my-gpg-agent-conf-string (call-with-input-file
(local-file-absolute-file-name (local-file
"relative/path/gpg-agent.conf"))(lambda (port) (get-string-all
port))))
similarly (define my-gpg-conf-string  .......)

Hi. I am trying to use (gnu home-servies gnupg) to instantiate
gpg-agent service. But instead of providing gpg-configuration and
gpg-agent-configuration information through the other fields, I would
like to use the extra-content field to populate using my existing
gpg.conf and gpg-agent.conf files which are under revision control.

I am unable to figure out the syntax to use to specify the
"extra-content" field when writing the specification for the two
configurations. Can someone show me an example?

This is the syntax I am trying:
(service
      home-gnupg-service-type
      (home-gnupg-configuration

Hi. Guix noob here.
I have included rde channel in my channels.scm file. When I do
bash> guix pull -C /path/to/channels.scm

I am getting the following error

Hi. I am a GUIX noob, having installed my first GUIX system just a
week ago. Following the Guix info manual, I tried to create a new home
environment and test it in a container. I did a "guix home build"
first and then This is the error I get
