To use --with-source, all you need to do is to rename the tarball to ‘emacs-20151111.tar.gz’; after that, you can run: guix build emacs --with-source=emacs-20151111.tar.gz That’s because --with-source expects the tarball name to match the package name (info "(guix) Invoking guix build"). Now, it might make sense to also provide an ‘emacs-snapshot’ package, built from a Git checkout and regularly updated. Would you like to try that? I think the package would simply inherit from ‘guile-emacs’ and provide a different ‘name’, ‘version’, and ‘source’. Thanks, Ludo’.
