Re: Failed to connect to guix daemon socket in pure env

Hi Jeremy,

Let send you first contribution. ;-)

Well, now you should be to build your package, something like:

   guix build -f your-definition.scm

where the file your-defintion.scm contains the recipe of your package.

Then, the instructions about how to submit.

1. clone from savanah and go to the directory
2. guix environment --container guix --ad-hoc git git:sendemail emacs
3. ./bootstrap && ./configure --localstatedir=/var/ && make
4. add the definition in the file gnu/packages/emacs-xyz.scm
Do not forget: a) to add your name on the top (copyright) and b) check
the indentation (M-C-q using Emacs on the opening parenthesis of your
addition)
5. check it works, first by searching or showing it:
   ./pre-inst-env guix search emacs ac geiser
   ./pre-inst-env guix show emacs-ac-geiser
6. Build it and address the warnings
   ./pre-inst-env guix build emacs-ac-geiser
7. Verify the reproducibility
   ./pre-inst-env guix build emacs-ac-geiser --no-grafts --check -K
8. Lint and address the issue
   ./pre-env-inst guix lint emacs-ac-geiser

If everything is fine, let commit and submit. Look at other commit
messages to find inspiration :-) Roughly speaking:

  gnu: Add emacs-ac-geiser.

  * gnu/packages/emacs-xyz.scm (emacs-ac-geiser): New variable.

There is yasnippet for Emacs which eases the addition.

Last, use format-patch: git format-patch -n1.
And send it: git send-email --to=guix-patches@gnu.org 0001-Add-blablabla.patch

Maybe you need to configure your smtp in ~/.gitconfig:

[sendemail]
    smtpServer =
    smtpServerPort =
    smtpEncryption = tls
    smtpUser =
    smtpPass =


And if you are still motivated, you could add all the "first
contribution" process to the Cookbook. ;-)


Cheers,
simon
