Hi,
I'm in a position where I have quite a few packages built that I'd like
to contribute to Guix.
I'm writing these in emacs with scheme-mode/geiser installed. However
I've noted that any attempt to align my Guile code (eg M-x indent-region)
results in code being aligned under the previous lines' parameter rather
than simply indenting.
So my code looks much wider, and uglier (IMHO) than that in the Guix repo:
(something like
(this type
(of format)))
ends up being reformated by Emacs to look like this:
(something like
(this type
(of format)))
The more nesting and split lines the crazier this gets. Some packages
are unreadable using emacs' default scheme indentation without a large monitor!
It seems like an simple question (hopefully not too off-topic!) - but
how do I make Emacs conform to code alignments rules adopted by Guile/Guix repo?
Is there an off-the-shelf setting, package or setup I can use?
The Guile manual mentions "Emacs has good support for Scheme out of the
box, with sensible indentation rules" - but these defaults seem at odds
with the Guix repo (or I'm doing something daft!):

Thanks,
