Hi Kenny,
I have experimented with various schemes for managing projects in
guix. I have tried 'guix environment', 'guix package', and 'guix system
vm'. FWIW, I have ended up "running" projects with an script that
includes ...
GCP_ROOT=$gcp_root guix package \
--profile=$gcp_root/.guix-profile \
-m $gcp_root/.manifest.scm
eval $(guix package -p /var/guix/profiles/system/profile \
-p $gcp_root/.guix-profile --search-paths=exact)
... where $gcp_root is the project directory. This effectively replaces
the "default user profile" with a "custom project profile"
($gcp_root/.guix-profile). I put the emacs project config in
$gcp_root/.emacs and run emacs with a script that includes ...
$GCP_ROOT/.guix-profile/bin/emacs \
--no-site-file \
--eval='(let ((guix-env (concat (getenv "GCP_ROOT") "/.guix-profile"))) (when (and guix-env (require (quote guix-emacs) nil t)) (guix-emacs-autoload-packages guix-env)))' \
--no-init-file \
--eval='(setq user-emacs-directory (concat (getenv "GCP_ROOT") "/.emacs.d/"))' \
--eval='(load (concat (getenv "GCP_ROOT") "/.emacs"))' \
--debug-init \
"$@"
The net effect: a custom emacs config running in a custom profile for
each project. I use Makefiles to maintain $gcp_root/.manifest.scm,
$gcp_root/.emacs, etc. and GNU screen to run/juggle these projects.
