Hi Konrad & Alex,
I am revamping my emacs config approach and I came across your
discussion. Following Alex's suggestions I found 2 approaches that seem
to do what Konrad wanted ...
1) guix profile approach ...
guix package -m emacs.scm
emacs --no-init-file \
--eval="\
(let ((guix-env (getenv \"GUIX_ENVIRONMENT\")))
(when (and guix-env
(require 'guix-emacs nil t))
(guix-emacs-autoload-packages guix-env)))" \
--load=".emacs.d/init0.el"
guix package --roll-back
2) guix environment approach ...
guix environment --ad-hoc emacs magit -- \
emacs --no-init-file --no-site-file \
--eval="\
(let ((guix-env (getenv \"GUIX_ENVIRONMENT\")))
(when (and guix-env
(require 'guix-emacs nil t))
(guix-emacs-autoload-packages guix-env)))" \
--load=".emacs.d/init0.el"
For my purposes 2) is better -- It starts more quickly and doesn't
"infect" other login sessions. It also allows multiple, different,
isolated Emacs environments to run simultaneously. Sweet ;-)
