Guix package collection provides only stable package releases for the most part. > So is Emacs 26 available from Guix? Unfortunately ~guix package > --show=3Demacs~ only reports version 25.3, but maybe there is a non > intuitive way to get Emacs 26. You could write a package recipe with a new version based on original recipe, see [1]. Also you could try =E2=80=98--with-source=E2=80=99 [2], but in Emacs case t= he package recipe should be tweaked a little bit, so it will probably not work.
