Dear list, Currently the emacs-gnuplot installs its el files and associated autoload file within the
${GUIX_PROFILE}/share/emacs/site-lisp/guix.d/gnuplot-0.7.0/ directory. This makes it impossible to actually use gnuplot-mode unless you fiddle with the EMACSLOADPATH to include the above directory. I quite like the idea of installing the packages within guix.d/${PACKAGE}; however this pattern does not seem to be actually successfully used. I've looked at magit-forge, for instance, which seems to (mistakenly) put .elc files within guix.d/forge-0.1.0-2.63cbf81/ -- but I doubt these are actually being used. The guix.d/${PACKAGE} pattern also seems used on emacs-magit *input* while compiling for accessing, for instance, input emacs-dash packages (as far as I can tell these flags-settings are completely useless, by the way, because the emacs-dash an other packages do not drop their files in those directories). I don't know scheme at all so I may be missing something. Please provide guidance as to how to handle this; in the meantime i'm contributing the following tentative patch which fixes my first problem with emacs-gnuplot. I also stand ready to improve emacs-magit compilation flags if required. Kind regards, JB
