Setup went fine. So far i've installed only substitutes (everything OK), but there are some packages that I want to tweak a little. How can I install a customized .scm package definition? For example, I want to pass some configure flags to Emacs (such as '#:configure-flags '("--without-dbus" ...)'). I copied /gnu/store/dbf9i96ac2pbyaibg591bx90a8zhvngc-guix-latest/gnu/packages/emacs.scm somewhere else, did some editing, but now I'm not sure what to do with it. Going through the mailing list i've found out that I might need to build Guix from source to do such a thing, but want to know if it can be done with a binary installation.
