I for one would greatly appreciate this since I run guix and am using debops to manage other systems. So if you do, that would be great! On a side note, would you know how one could use debops from a guix system in the meanwhile?

Updating a package
Hi Guix, I'm trying to go about updating a package and submitting a patch. A good learning process for me. I managed to update the package, emacs-exwm and to build it successfully via: ./pre-inst-env guix build emacs-exwm Few Qs: Should I do this after updating a package? make check to check all tests pass? Or rather the CI does that? Secondly, how do I go about testing this package on my system (laptop running guix) to see if the updated package actually works? I've done this in channels.scm (list (channel (name 'guix) (url "https://gitlab.com/divansantana/guix/";) (branch "master"))) And then updated to my fork, though not sure if that is the best way. I suppose it may be better to test these things in a vm via guix vm. Thanks!

I'll certainly be using this. Would be great to package something like in emacs community. A blog about converting back and forth between org and markdown would be welcome to many in the Emacs community. :) I'm slow to get around to completing your guix packaging tutorial. As a complete noob I'm very interested in this and keen to submit a few basic packages there after.

Perhaps some i3 or x related packages? Most of my packages were only installed in my user profile. Speaking of which, are there tips/advise on advantages/disadvantages of installing certain packages system wide vs in a user profile? Or multiple user profiles. -- Divan

And thanks Chris! Thanks very much Chris. This is really appreciated. Super useful and just what I was looking for. These sort of articles are great for new comers like me. Only... I can't get it to work. lol When I place this file in my home: ~/ ᐅ ll .xsession -rwxr-xr-x 1 admin users 91 May 28 21:12 .xsession ~/ ᐅ cat .xsession #!/run/current-system/profile/bin/bash # start ssh-agent system wide. exec ssh-agent "$@" The login crashes from slim. How do I debug it? slim.log contains nothing useful. Also don't see anything in xorg log. Removing the file, I can login again. Bit puzzled. -- Divan
