Hi, guix allows setting up an environment containing all the
dependencies for development of a package; this can be done via a
guix.scm file containing the package definition.
My question is, if I am developing a package which has dependencies
with newer versions than what is available in the guix repo, how can I
use the guix.scm file to bring in the new version of the dependencies?
As an example:
Say my package "my-package" has dependencies d1, d2, d3
where d2 in the current guix package repo is at version 0.1.2 but I
need a later release version 0.1.4; so I tried something like this:
----guix.scm---
(use-modules (guix packages)
....)
(define-public d2-0.1.4
(package
(name "d2")
(version "0.1.4")
...
)
(define-public my-package
(package
(name "my-package")
(version "0.1")
...
(input (list d1 d2-0.1.4 d3...)
....
))
my-package
---end guix.scm--
and if I use
guix shell -f -d ./guix.scm
this does not seem to generate an environment that contains the new
dependency, that is d2 version 0.1.4
I wonder how can this made to work? Ideally no need to create a
private channel or such.. Thanks for info on this.

‘guix shell -f guix.scm’ generates an environment that contains the
package returned by ‘guix.scm’.
Conversely, ‘guix shell -D -f guix.scm’ produces the development
environment of the package returned by ‘guix.scm’.
HTH!
