To use --with-source, all you need to do is to rename the tarball to
=E2=80=98emacs-20151111.tar.gz=E2=80=99; after that, you can run:

  guix build emacs --with-source=3Demacs-20151111.tar.gz

That=E2=80=99s because --with-source expects the tarball name to match the
package name (info "(guix) Invoking guix build").

Now, it might make sense to also provide an =E2=80=98emacs-snapshot=E2=80=
=99 package,
built from a Git checkout and regularly updated.  Would you like to try
that?

I think the package would simply inherit from =E2=80=98guile-emacs=E2=80=99=
 and provide
a different =E2=80=98name=E2=80=99, =E2=80=98version=E2=80=99, and =E2=80=
=98source=E2=80=99.

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
