** Avoiding kernel recompilation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Since prebuilt substitutes are not currently available for Nonguix, you may find
|
||||||
|
that ~guix system reconfigure~ recompiles the kernel frequently due to version
|
||||||
|
bumps in the kernel package. An inferior can be used to pin the kernel version
|
||||||
|
and avoid lengthy rebuilds.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You must pin both Guix and Nonguix, as the Nonguix kernel packages derive from
|
||||||
|
those in Guix (so changes in either could cause a rebuild). Your preferred kernel
|
||||||
|
version must be available in both pinned channels.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Consult the output of ~guix system describe~ to get the commits of Guix and
|
||||||
|
Nonguix for the current generation. Once you have determined the commits to use,
|
||||||
|
create an inferior in your system configuration file that pins the channels to
|
||||||
|
them. Then grab the appropriately-versioned Linux package from the inferior to
|
||||||
|
use as your kernel.
