I think what you want to do is on host1 run 'guix publish' as you already found, and on host2 you can then use 'guix install foo --substitute-urls="https://host1 https://ci.guix.gnu.org"' to get substitutes from both host1 and the Guix CI infrastructure. See https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/guix.html#Invoking-guix-publish for a more complete explanation. To do this through the configuration system, you need 'guix-publish-service-type' and adjusting the 'substitute-urls' field of 'guix-service-type'. > - The right way of treating guix code (or guile code structure?) > - I have to clone guix repo into my home directory? > - Though "guix pull" should have source tree anywhere (in > /gnu/store?), so are there any interfaces > to access them through guix-daemon? > - I want to tweak existing code (package definition) > - I should copy target file to somewhere working directory to edit > or edit target file in the project tree? After cloning the Guix repository, you can run Guix directly from the checkout using the "./pre-inst-env" script: see the Contributing section of the manual for how to configure a development environment: https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/guix.html#Contributing Another alternative is to use 'guix pull --url=/your/cloned/repository'. > - Emacs setup (to edit guix configuration) > - I want something like: > - i.e. M-x guix-describe-variables to view document of guix > keywords and jump to its definition > - C-x C-e to evaluate variables (to confirm its values) > - guix keyword completion > - Some linter (flymake/flycheck thing) > - emacs-guix seems to be "guix" command wrapper, so I guess > configuring geiser will make it? You can get completion and jumping through Geiser, but I don't have instructions at hand. Hopefully some of the Emacs gurus can chime in here. :-)
