Well, OK, thanks:
I am experimenting, and apparently all three: guix pull, guix package, guix build
accept a --load-path parameter:
* If I call guix pull with --load-path... it still takes ~ 53s,
and I wanted to do that only once per day, say -- ruling out this
possibility
* Thus I am trying to use a --load-path w/ guix package -i,
or guix package -u (instead of using my personal channel)
but with not too much success yet, cf. below
* maybe I should use --load-path w/ guix build instead ?
not sure, if this make sense in my case.
Setting the stage now: with my personal channel set up, I can
install a few haskell packages (not found in guix core yet):
as specified in my manifest file:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
guix package -m ~/cfg/stuff/manifest-hs.scm
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
with manifest-hs.scm:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(specifications->manifest
(list
;; "cabal-install"
"ghc"
;; [channel]
"ghc-filepattern"
;; [channel]
"ghc-formatting"
;; [channel]
"ghc-heaps"
;; [channel]
"ghc-js-dgtable"
;; [channel]
"ghc-map-syntax"
;; [channel]
"ghc-quickcheck-text"
;; [channel]
;; "ghc-shake"
;; [channel]
"ghc-string-interpolate"
))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
[channel] comments therein indicate, that these packages are from my
channel (just as a reminder for me), for example "ghc-formatting" is
from my channel, whereas "ghc" is from guix core. -- "ghc-shake" used to
work for me before, but now has issues - unrelated to my question
though, thus commented out for now (and a good candidate maybe for
building with guix build -f ghc-shake.scm).
Those packages I get installed just fine
(and note in particular, that ghc-formatting is at v7.1.3 -
we will change that below):

Now having my packages locally (as from a git clone for example - I am
developing them on another (debian) machine really - thus git comes in
handy to get them on my guix machine dell as well):

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Not too convincing :-( -
In reality (while developing), I would maybe keep my packages installed from my channel,
* and maybe just add another package (in my load-path)
* or update one of the packages in my load-path
(so that it is newer there than on my channel)
Let's try that (with my ~/.config/guix/channels.scm as before):
guix pull (53s)
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
rx@dell ~$ guix package -m ~/cfg/stuff/manifest-hs.scm

Fine: back to where we were before (starting point: ghc-formatting at v 7.1.3).
Now I make changes to my ghc-formatting package in ~/tmp/channel/
(keeping the original, and changing the version number to
7.1.4.2021-09-01 among other important changes to my package possibly):
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
rx@dell ~/tmp/channel$ cp ghc-formatting.scm ghc-formatting.scm.orig
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
...
;; (version (string-append "v7.1.3" "." (string-take commit 7))) (version (string-append "v7.1.4" "." "2021-0901")))
...
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
For me 7.1.4 is a higher version number than 7.1.3.
And in any case: this is the most recent version, that I want
installed now:
And I commit my changes:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
rx@softland {master} ~/channel $ git add ghc-formatting.scm
rx@softland {master} ~/channel $ git commit -S -m "formatting updated"
[master 0e03c6a] formatting updated
1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)
rx@softland {master} ~/channel $
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
And move them to my guixsd machine dell...
( I could clone them, or just rsync them here).
Apparently 7.1.4 builds fine on dell (showing only the last bits of the output):
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

(I don't know what this static is - sorry), but apparently: I got
v7.1.4 installed !! - fine.
Now I don't want to install EVERY SINGLE PACKAGE by hand! - I want some means to say:
Take all the packages as in this directory (--load-path ...) as the most
recent input (similar my use of a channel).
I.e. I was hoping that --load-path could come in as a replacement for my
channel (while developping) -- but apparently not for me yet. (Or is
there another possibility maybe, that I am not aware of)?
Thanks again.
