How about a scenario like this, all done from within emacs-guix running
against a git checkout ...
- find a package
- install it
- observe how it is working
- consider changing a config flag
- 'M-x Guix edit <package>'
- download the source: 'C-u . s'
- copy the package source out of the store (there is probably a better
thing to do here)
- in <package> source: './configure --help' to see config options
- 'M-x Guix edit <package>' & modify #:configure-flags
- build the package: 'C-u . b'
- install the new version
- verify the package behavior has changed
- commit the change
- produce a potential guix patch
Note: I am not a 'M-x guix-edit' "daily driver". I hope others who are
will comment/improve the outline.
ISTM this scenario is useful because ...
1) it shows the control that guix gives to users
2) a knowledgeable <package> user can follow it to help improve how
<package> runs in guix.
