Creating custom packages is ubiquitous with Guix and packaging with Guix is fairly straightforward. But what about working with packages where you want to package a non-release version? Or if you're hacking on another package which either isn't packaged in Guix or you want to test your changes before sending off a patch set or pull request? `guix.scm` is the unofficial filename for Guix build instructions for this case. It provides a target for creating an environment for hacking on the package, and it creates a build recipe to build what's currently in that repository, meaning you can use the power of Guix for builds even while working on other projects. A combination of a little bit of boiler-plate for building "this here repository" and standard package definitions allow for easy building and rebuilding without dirtying the source tree. And also for building multiple versions of the package in one go.
