This is a very cool hack! It might make sense to turn it into a service in GuixSD proper, because I suspect it’s a use case that people may be interested in. So you would write, say: (service auto-build-service (auto-build-service-configuration (manifest (local-file …)) (load-path '("/home/alice/…")))) and it would do the right thing. WDYT? BTW, I think it’s the kind of experience report that would be worth turning into a blog post on our web site. It’s always interesting to see how people solve specific problems with the tools. Thanks!
