There are 2 more reasons above that: - I'd like to make it available on MELPA (people asked about it several times in the past); - Currently, to be able to use it on non-GuixSD system, a user has to install 'guix' package into their profile. This has never looked good to me (installing a whole guix only for a small part of it). I would prefer to make "guix package -i emacs-guix" possible instead. So I'd like to add 'emacs-guix' package (the current patchset) and to remove it from the Guix source tree, if you don't mind. The code of Emacs-Guix can be found on github¹ or notabug². I've just made a release (v0.2); and I'm going to send a message with the summary of changes later. ¹ https://github.com/alezost/guix.el ² https://notabug.org/alezost/emacs-guix I'm also sending the following patches: [PATCH 1/2] gnu: Add emacs-bui. [PATCH 2/2] gnu: Add emacs-guix.
