If there is redundancy in the code, it should be removed. I didn't find
a procedure to make a name specification at the time, so I wrote
'make-package-specification' in "emacs/guix-main.scm". I think we can
add a general procedure to construct a name specification to (guix
utils):
(define* (package-name-specification name #:optional version output)
(let ((full-name (if version
(string-append name "@" version)
name)))
(if output
(string-append full-name ":" output)
full-name)))
Then 'package-full-name' from (guix packages) and the code from
"emacs/guix-main.scm" can use it. WDYT?
