Well, for what it is worth, I think the good practise is to send
contributions when something broken on master is fixed and not keep the
fix in your own patched Guix version.

That said, I do not use =E2=80=9Cguix home=E2=80=9D so my way probably does=
 not make
sense.  What I do is that I have separated manifest files.  For
instance, I have emacs.scm for my Emacs stuff, ocaml.scm for my OCaml
stuff, compiler.scm for some compilers that I use, base.scm for all the
basic stuff as coreutils etc.

When one package is broken, it impacts only one manifest.  So it
mitigates the issue for upgrading.

What I am not fully happy is that =E2=80=9Cguix weather=E2=80=9D does not h=
ave a
codified exit status.  It had been discussed [1] but no consensus.  It
would ease:

  guix weather -m path/to/manifests/foo.scm \
    && guix upgrade -p path/to/profiles/foo

Cheers,
simon
