Hi

I believe the guix-pack docker format allows setting environment
variables in the resulting image, is that right?

I can't find any way to set them using the `guix pack` tool, am I
missing it?

Would a new `guix pack --setenv HOME=/` parameter be useful?

Such a parameter could be docker-specific and documented in
--help-docker-format.  If other formats support setting environment
variables too, it could instead be a normal `guix pack` parameter.
Maybe AppImage support setting environment variables too?

Thanks,
/Simon

That would definitely be useful, yes.  The squashfs format (for
Singularity/Apptainer) supports it too, maybe AppImage as well.
