Subject: ‘guix system image’ forces
 commit authentication?

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi all,

There doesn't seem to be a way to opt out of commit authentication 
with ‘./pre-inst-env guix system image’.  Am I missing (a 
reasonable!) one?

I'd expect all commands that authenticate commits to honour 
‘--disable-authentication’.

Hey,

> λ ./pre-inst-env guix system image -t iso9660 
> gnu/system/install.scm --disable-authentication
> guix system: error: disable-authentication: unrecognized option

That's probably a side effect of https://issues.guix.gnu.org/53210 that
includes the "current-guix" inside the installation image instead of the
latest Guix snapshot.

To build "current-guix", we rely on the channel-build-system and
ultimately the latest-channel-instance procedure. This procedure takes an
"authenticate?" argument.

Now passing this option will be tricky as we do not call
latest-channel-instance directly like in (guix scripts pull) but rather
rely on the "current-guix" variable.

I'll think more about it.

Mathieu
