First, I would encourage you to submit the package for inclusion in Guix
proper. For that, you need to turn it into a patch and generally follow
the guidelines at:
In particular, once you’ve added it to the Guix tree, you will need to
run:
./pre-inst-env guix style germinal
./pre-inst-env guix style -S inputs germinal
to obtain the “conventional” style. Let us know how it goes!
As for defining a Guix System service such as those you mention, I don’t
know. My guess is that you could probably copy/paste
‘agate-service-type’ or ‘gmnisrv-service-type’ and related code as a
starting point, and adjust it so it matches Germinal. People can
provide guidance on help-guix@gnu.org and on #guix on Libera.chat.
Thanks in advance,
Ludo’.
