Hi Simon and Maxim!
I am not sure I understand all things you wrote.

OK, so basically the way would then be to have 2 Emacs, but always start
one of them with with the `-l <path>` argument, so that it makes use of
another config file.

OK nice! I'll try it for a package! I noticed, that there are only 3
Emacs Org-Babel packages available (or visible)
at: https://guix.gnu.org/packages/E/page/9/. I'l try with some of those
I need. And I see
at
https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Invoking-guix-import.html#Invoking-guix-import,
that there are already some repositories understood, which I would
probably use.
Also the edit thing `guix edit emacs-ob-erlang` sounds interesting.
I just did the edit thing and I am not sure how to then "upload" a
package. But I will read the docs a little and will probably all clear up.

So if I understand this correctly, there are different channels for
different types of packages, for example for Rust packages we have
`gnu/packages/crates-io.scm` and for Emacs packages we have
`gnu/packages/emacs-xyz.scm`.
The command `guix describe -f channels` does not work for me:
~~~~
xiaolong@xlx200:~$ guix describe -f channels
guix describe: error: failed to determine origin
hint: Perhaps this `guix' command was not obtained with `guix pull'? Its
version string is
36da62f1b9c78a2729658143a7df1845cd532afa.
~~~~
I did another `guix pull` and `guix package -u` and this is after a
fresh Guix package manager install and and installing the following
packages:
~~~~

The other command to show the count of packages also does not work for me:
~~~~
xiaolong@xlx200:/$ sudo du -sh gnu/packages/*.scm | sort -nr | head -n5
du: cannot access 'gnu/packages/*.scm': No such file or directory
~~~~
Do I need to create channels, like a custom way of structuring packages
for myself, before running these commands?

Thanks for all your help!
