Hi Clément,

guix supports any number of profiles as one user, the ~/.guix-profile one is just
the default, you can create and select profiles at will.
You can specify any profile you want using the option "-p" to "guix package" -
also, "guix environment" will create a custom profile.
However, your patch hardcodes ~/.guix-profile which is in general not what a user
using "-p" would want. I agree that it makes sense to search for the plugins in
the current profile, but it's not clear to me that ~/.guix-profile is always
guaranteed to BE the current profile. Is it?
According to https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Invoking-guix-environment.html#FOOT16 ,
fontconfig already hardcodes ~/.guix-profile and "guix environment" has a
special flag to fake it, so maybe (probably?) it's OK to use it after all.
I hope someone else can chime in - but this is what immediately caught my
eye because what's the use of all these environment variables if one
hard-codes ~/.guix-profile anyway - could have hard-coded it in all packages,
then...

In general that's OK.

Oh, makes sense.
