I suggest to do the following: * clone the guix repository * add the package definition to an existing file (such as =E2=80=9Cgnu/packages/messaging.scm=E2=80=9D) * then run =E2=80=9C./pre-inst-env guix build loudmouth=E2=80=9D That=E2=80=99s closer to how most of us work on Guix and you don=E2=80=99= t have to add the variable name to the end to evaluate it. This will also make it easier for you to generate a patch by commiting your change and then running =E2=80=9Cgit format-patch -1=E2=80=9D. ~~ Ricardo
