Yes, when the instance is really *new*, forked from a session where EMACSLOADPATH is set right. I typically start Emacs in server mode using a shepherd user service, so rarely restart Emacs. And even if I was to do 'herd restart emacs', its variables would still be inherited from the login process that spawned its service. But that's not too big an issue for Emacs when using Emacs-Guix, as one can do `guix-set-emacs-environment' and choose a profile to re-read and set (in Emacs itself) its environment variables. Re-running 'guix-emacs-autoload-packages' would then refresh the autoloads corectly, given that EMACSLOADPATH would have been refreshed with an updated profile. >> I'll let some time pass (2 weeks), and if nobody objects, I'll merge it >> to master. > > Sounds great, thanks for this awesome fix! Thank you for your interested in it, you motivated me to dust off a year old (maybe more) patch and fix the remaining bits. Maxim
