When I mentioned the "manifest" file, I wasn't aware it was common to refer to this file as `guix.scm`, but yes, this is definitely the first part. However, to clarify, my question is regarding the second part: how to get the `guix.scm` and any environment variables loaded as part of `guix environment -l guix.scm` or `guix environment -m project_manifest.scm`-- search paths and similar -- integrated into the buffers local to the project directory? I believe `.dir-locals.el` or similar might actually be the right approach here, but I'm still in the early stages of exploring this. I hope that clarifies my question better. For more reference, I'm also thinking of wingo's blog on developing v8 with guix[1] (though I believe `guix environment` wasn't yet available). Again, if this is the wrong list, I can move this question to emacs-help instead. -Kenny [1]: https://wingolog.org/archives/2015/08/04/developing-v8-with-guix

OK. Cool.

Re: How should I install non-guix software?
There is also the possibility to run you programs in a container with a mapped folder hierarchy, e.g.: guix environment -C --expose=/home/foo/bar/bin=/bin -- /home/foo/qux/bin/qux See "(guix) Invoking guix environment". I think it's also worth mentioning the practice of including a Guix package declaration into your source, like https://dthompson.us/projects/haunt.html does. It's mostly useful for development packages since stable versions should preferably be added to Guix itself. -- Pierre Neidhardt signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Re: mcron
Yes, Vixie syntax is supported there too! See "(mcron) Vixie Syntax". But if you can grasp the Lisp syntax instead, I'd recommend you for it, it's much more flexible. After all, it's the sole raison-d'être of mcron with regard to cron :) I think your solution to "every N minute" is correct. Cheers! -- Pierre Neidhardt signature.asc Description: PGP signature
