GuixDays: Perfect Setup: Speaker wanted

Hi,

on the page for the Guix-Days I added this one:

Demonstration and explanation of The Perfect Setup (Emacs, Geiser, Magit)

The reason is that I failed working with the Perfect Setup. So, is
there anyone who like to show what's so perfect about that setup and
how to set it up?

Thanks,

Björn

"The Perfect Setup" sounds a bit exclusive in my opinion, there is a whole world of
possibilities out there... :)

That said, if it's only about Emacs+Geiser+Magit, I'd be happy to make a demo
and share my config :)

Agreed. A recommended setup sounds better.

Nice 😃 
I also tried this setup but found that magit does unexpected things to the repo sometimes. Maybe it is just my git skills that are lacking. 

Actually what is even nicer is emacs-debbugs and its ability to apply patches from emails. The UI is somewhat lacking and I think we should fork it so that it defaults to guix bugs and packages.

There's no need to fork emacs-debbugs for that; it's already
configurable:

(setq debbugs-gnu-default-packages '("guix"))

Thanks for sharing that! I did not look into it deeply and had not 
realized this was possible.

I think this should be included in HACKING where emacs-debbugs is mentioned:
"* Using emacs-debbugs

Bug reports and patches are tracked using debbugs. If you are on emacs, you
can use emacs-debbugs.

List all open bug reports on guix-patches with

C-u M-x debbugs-gnu <RET> <RET> guix-patches <RET> n y"

Also we should mention that the error which appears after applying 
patches from emails can be ignored - the patches apply succesfully anyways.

If you want to apply only one of several patches from a single email you 
have to select manually and run M-x magit-apply (if I remember correctly)

This is not a common error message when using the Debbugs interface for
Emacs.  I’ve never seen this message.  Can you provide instructions on
how to reproduce this?

Also try with “emacs -Q” to make sure it’s nothing to do with your
init.el.

FWIW you don’t need emacs-debbugs to apply patches from emails, nor do
you need emacs-debbugs at all if you don’t want to use it.

At https://issues.guix.info you can download any message by clicking on
the “Download” link in the upper right corner.  You can download
individual parts of multipart messages.  You can then apply any
downloaded patches with “git am”.

I will return with the error message.
I liked that it makes it easier to apply and review patches.

I know that it can be done manually but that's cumbersome  in my view.

That's just what the manual writes about it :-)

That's what I mean, yes. That would be nice, if you could share it with
us.

Thanks,
