Well, for what it is worth, I think the good practise is to send
contributions when something broken on master is fixed and not keep the
fix in your own patched Guix version.
That said, I do not use “guix home” so my way probably does not make
sense. What I do is that I have separated manifest files. For
instance, I have emacs.scm for my Emacs stuff, ocaml.scm for my OCaml
stuff, compiler.scm for some compilers that I use, base.scm for all the
basic stuff as coreutils etc.
When one package is broken, it impacts only one manifest. So it
mitigates the issue for upgrading.
What I am not fully happy is that “guix weather” does not have a
codified exit status. It had been discussed [1] but no consensus. It
would ease:
guix weather -m path/to/manifests/foo.scm \
&& guix upgrade -p path/to/profiles/foo
Cheers,
simon
