guix install hello -p foo guix install emacs -p bar eval $(guix package -p foo -p bar --search-paths=exact) So it composes. However maybe not what you had in mind. ;-) > By "composable profiles" what I have in mind is the sum of two existing > profiles and extending them as necessary > > $ guix environment --with-profile saved-profiles/profile-A \ > --with-profile saved-profiles/profile-B \ > <packageA> Yes, because "guix environment" cannot support "profile". As said, IMHO you raised 2 interesting use cases: 1. create an environment based on a profile 2. pack an existing profile Obviously "a profile" means the composition of profiles if any. > I agree.

Patches are always welcome. :-) Cheers, simon ps: Well, maybe we are falling in the "take it to private email" thread pattern. ;-) https://joeyh.name/blog/entry/thread_patterns/
