Hello Jacob,
I would like to point you to the section 2.1.5.3 Inheritance of the
cookbook:
https://guix.gnu.org/cookbook/en/guix-cookbook.html#Inheritance
There it says:
All unspecified fields are inherited from the parent package. This is
very convenient to create alternative packages, for instance with
different source, version or compilation options.
So I usually create my own package module, specify a new package that
inherits the package I'm interested in and give it another unique name,
say my-freecad. Then I specify my-freecad in the manifest and use the -L
or --load-path= flag with the file system path of own package module to
invoke guix package, guix shell, and so on.
Hope that get's you somewhere.
To be exact, I have not used this technique for obtaining a package a
specific commit, but for different versions. I see no reason it wouldn't
work for this scenario as well, though.
Greetings
Niklas
