(guix pki) has:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define %acl-file
  (string-append %config-directory "/acl"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

where (guix config) does:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define %config-directory
  ;; This must match `NIX_CONF_DIR' as defined in `daemon.am'.
  (or (getenv "NIX_CONF_DIR") "@guix_sysconfdir@/guix"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

So most likely the =E2=80=98NIX_CONF_DIR=E2=80=99 environment variable is d=
efined on
your system, and =E2=80=98guix archive=E2=80=99 simply honors that.

Can you confirm?

Now, we=E2=80=99ve honored those =E2=80=98NIX_=E2=80=99 variables mostly be=
cause the daemon
code, which comes from Nix, uses them, and I initially didn=E2=80=99t want =
to
diverge.  Nowadays it would probably make sense to rename them.

> Also, /gnu/store is set to only have 1770 permissions instead of 1774,

That=E2=80=99s not what I see:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ tar tvf guix-binary-0.9.0.x86_64-linux.tar.xz |grep /gnu/store/$
drwxrwxr-t root/root         0 1970-01-01 01:00 ./gnu/store/
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Which installation method did you use?

> which means you can't use any of your guix symlinks with 0.9.0 :/

What do you mean by =E2=80=9Cyour guix symlinks=E2=80=9D?

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.

On NixOS when I follow the binary installation instructions as of 0.9.0,
it places the acl in the wrong place.

guix archive --authorize < hydra.gnu.org.pub

This puts the file in /etc/nix/acl, not /etc/guix acl. This means the
guix daemon can't find the acl, and you build everything from scratch.

I solved this locally by making them a symlink.

Also, /gnu/store is set to only have 1770 permissions instead of 1774,
which means you can't use any of your guix symlinks with 0.9.0 :/
