<ryanprior>I'm having an issue where `guix build -K mypkg` fails to keep the failed build dir, saying Permission denied. Details here: https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/issues/7777 Anybody seen similar? Any ideas for workarounds?

<DragonMaus>is there a way to install the password-store package such that it does not pull in a thousand dependencies (including a full graphical environment, for what is a purely command-line program)?

<dlowe>there's a lot of gui entanglements I've found if you're just trying to have a server

<dlowe>I wonder if there's interest in untangling it

<DragonMaus>it looks like dmenu, wl-clipboard, xclip, and xdotool are listed as hard dependencies (and qrencode, but that's not gui-related), when they should be optional

<DragonMaus>does guix have a notion of optional or soft deps? I'm still just poking around so I'm not super familiar with stuff yet

<DragonMaus>worst case scenario, it could be split into two packages. one, the base package, would only depends on the absolute essentials (shell, gpg, git, and a couple of others I can't think of off the top of my head), and the other would depend on the base package and the gui related stuff
