Subject: Can You Help With applying patches when doing `guix pull` ?
Date: Thu, 15 Dec 2022 14:22:18 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <6b7b0cfa-a938-68ee-4a93-8ac0a942bd66@disroot.org> (raw)
Is there an easy way to applies patches locally (at every pull) without having to maintain a whole channel ?
Because I want to have the patch tree-sitter for emacs[1] and the patch exwm-emacs-next[2] without creating and maintainging my whole channel ! for 2 patches that are already compatible with Guix's official channel !! but just need a maintainer's approval.

Thanks, it would be very useful (There are lots of patches that I would love to have, without the hassle of maintaining a mirror channel with some patches, because they can take more than 2 years to be merged into Guix's channel)
Thank you for your help and support.
PS:
I already know about `guix build --patch ...`, but it doesn't do what I want.
Otherwise, would there be a way to create and maintain automatically a local channel that just apply those patches ?
