Subject: guix deploy doesn't seem to be authorizing the machine that is
 deploying to the remote
Date: Wed, 24 Feb 2021 23:56:08 +0000

I'm using the machine-ssh-configuration, I set `(authorize? #t)` which
the manual states should authorize the deploying machine onto the
remote host, but I get an error:
```
guix deploy: error: unauthorized public key: (public-key...
```

So I add to the OS definition:

```
 (guix-configuration
                   (authorized-keys (append `(,(local-file
"/etc/guix/signing-key.pub")) %default-authorized-guix-keys))))

```

Which makes the error go away. I'm under the impression however that
the 'authorize? #t' field should be doing this without me needing to
add it to the OS configuration.

`(authorize? #t)` seems working, it does `guix archive --authorize <
local-key` on remote machine before reconfiguring, but after
reconfiguration is finished the value of /etc/guix/acl is reset by
guix-service-type and for some reason the error message you mentioned
appears.  Despite the error message the new generation is created and
new configuration is applied.  It seems something like copying auxiliary
file to remote store happens after reconfiguration is finished.  Will
try to investigate that, when will have some free time.

For now I do the same trick with changing the configuration for
guix-service-type:

It probably has to do with commit
3b6e4e5fd05e72b8a32ff1a2d5e21464260e21e6, which made /etc/guix/acl
declarative by default.

Thanks,
