Yep, if that's the right path to where you saved your manifest file.

(Note that the -u option, upgrade, takes an optional argument, a regexp
matching which packages to act on.  I prefer to explicitly pass in
`-u.` to match anything since I normally run this command from my shell
history, and I can then just add any other options I want without them
being interpreted as an argument to -u.)

You can save the manifest file wherever you want, since you pass the
path into `guix package` with the -m option it'll always be able to find
it.

Thanks,
Josh
