As it stands, your video is a great sanity check for someone wondering
if their emacs-guix environment is working properly. It is also a great
demonstration of how easy it is for a guix user to see and, with a git
checkout, modify a package.
If you expanded it a bit to illustrate a few
more guix-edit/geiser features, it could be a great addition to the
guix-video-verse, and, IMO, a good thing to add to www.gnu.or
Which eatures, exactly, you would like to be showed ?
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.
