Agreed! What would the process be to try to make that happen? |

In fact we should just get rid of the environment variable. The only reason it exists is that it was a hack (which probably shouldn't have been documented...) and we didn't have a config file back then. |

Using an environment variable for allowing a symlinked store is currently broken, and is extremely brittle (See #4022). This is because nix invocations that happen in a different environment than the user's will still return errors complaining about the symlink (ex. through
sudoor thenix-daemon).Fixes #2926.
