Hi Guix,
emacs-guix (also known as guix.el) has been broken for some time.
I submitted https://gitlab.com/emacs-guix/emacs-guix/-/merge_requests/8
to support guix versions >= 1.1. However, two changes also have to
occur for proper support.
* Some bindings will need to be exposed on the guix side. I submitted
patches for this already: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/44619
* The guix package in gnu/packages/package-management.scm will need to
refer to a commit including those patches.
That leads to a more nebulous question: should there be "stable" and
"unstable" versions of the guix package in guix? Stable might be pinned
to a release, but guix-unstable might be updated occasionally.
What do you think?
- John

As I wrote in another message before reaching this one, my understanding
is that “we” now have to take over maintenance of Emacs-Guix. As part
of that process, we can discuss what interfaces would be useful to
Emacs-Guix and arrange to keep them stable.
I think we can do more if the two are developed hand in hand. Let’s see
what we can achieve!

To me the top priority would be to fix the ‘emacs-guix’ package in Guix,
either by adding a patch, grabbing a Git snapshot, or using an older
Geiser version.
Tagging an Emacs-Guix release would also be an option, once you’ve
clarified with Alex Kost and everyone involved that it’s OK for you to
do so.
I’ve requested the creation of a Git repo at Savannah. Again, if and
once everyone involved is OK with the move, you can move the repo
there. In the meantime you can obviously use a copy hosted elsewhere.
And then, you’ll probably have to recruit among the fearless and
creative Emacs hackers lurking here. :-)

Hi John,
Thank you for reviving guix.el. :-)

The package emacs-guix depends on the package guix because of reasons I
am not sure to well understand to explain them. The same problem, IIUC,
happens with Guix Workflow Language (package gwl). Ricardo provided a
draft patch here:
https://yhetil.org/guix-devel/87tuuayplb.fsf@elephly.net
Well, maybe one way to answer to this nebulous question should to put
some love in this direction. I do not know, maybe I miss the point.
All the best,
simon
