Hi, guix allows setting up an environment containing all the dependencies for development of a package; this can be done via a guix.scm file containing the package definition.
My question is, if I am developing a package which has dependencies with newer versions than what is available in the guix repo, how can I use the guix.scm file to bring in the new version of the dependencies? As an example: Say my package "my-package" has dependencies d1, d2, d3 where d2 in the current guix package repo is at version 0.1.2 but I need a later release version 0.1.4; so I tried something like this: ----guix.scm--- (use-modules (guix packages) ....) (define-public d2-0.1.4 (package (name "d2") (version "0.1.4") ... ) (define-public my-package (package (name "my-package") (version "0.1") ... (input (list d1 d2-0.1.4 d3...) .... )) my-package ---end guix.scm--- and if I use guix shell -f -d ./guix.scm this does not seem to generate an environment that contains the new dependency, that is d2 version 0.1.4 I wonder how can this made to work? Ideally no need to create a private channel or such.. Thanks for info on this.
