Hi

I've stumbled upon some room for improvement considering where to add groups to a Guix system. Chapter 12.6 mentions the needed forms but lacks clear indication which operating-system​ fields to add these to.

My patch takes care of that.

This patch is based on commit 7bbeaa87e3796d56cc762dcfbc340f9be301d5f6

TIA,
g

Note that user-account and user-group are also valid outside those
fields, e.g. as part of service configurations.  Also, an example has
already been given in section 12.1.

Cheers

Hi everyone,

I agree with Lily here, this should document only the user-account and
user-group records, not specific fields of operating-system which is
already documented in "(guix) operating-system Reference".

Closing, but feel free to continue the discussion if it's still unclear.

Best,
