No, because the MELPA version and the Guix version are not the same and the requirements might be different. Emacs package management is rather simple while Guix gives you much more po= wer, including reproducibility. If you install everything from Guix, it gives y= ou a fairly strong guarantee that things will work out of the box. =2D-=20 Pierre Neidhardt https://ambrevar.xyz/ --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCAAdFiEEUPM+LlsMPZAEJKvom9z0l6S7zH8FAlwuCcwACgkQm9z0l6S7 zH+v2Af/UdEnJevjr729hQpNYNazrrpzBnqJWGH2A66yWnPUFEftltwx7204jwyr Y9eMHthKVRKrIy6gGtG6nmZ7RL8xBWZe76HLu6Rtk00rw0PqfKtZiPhfx1NEL0C6 AMuSiYOUzmNmgd/tWNIDEJjums4VMOw5n/sry8v9eZUc5x9b6oxj8X6uPU2GOXDb G2KcZqx7rgvhhSV4RcnTrq94spNsSRMLZPK9gBWC5A2lDzyaeQ7N4ciPMuUnZgGO 3sLWTYFT8r07HPZs5djhw8dQ0LCiMQMxbH3l0HsEVXAfiMBrqpOmt91nJVDwbM/c klBmg108q2w7hmGVosftdt8VYUTH/w== =sONR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
