Hello,
following the discussion in guix-devel, here is a small doc
addition to explain how binary-tarball modifications can
be built and then tested...
WDYT ?

I agree this needs to be documented, but I don’t think this is the right
place: “Binary Installation” is for users who want to install. Instead,
we should document it in a section explicitly targeting Guix developers,
maybe under “Contributing”?
Thanks,
Ludo’.

A "Updating the Guix Package" subsection has since been added to the
Contributing section, which I believe covers this.
Thank you,
Closing.
