Hello Brian, Could we use emacs-zones from Elpa? See https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/zones.html . ‘guix import elpa emacs-zones’ will produce a decent ‘origin’ record to pull a source. Please, don't forget to add a changelog entry to commit message: * gnu/packages/emacs-xyz.scm (emacs-zones): New variable. If you use Magit you could type ‘add’ to paste a yasnippet from ‘etc/snippets/’ Guix Git repository. Add this directory to ‘yas-snippet-dirs’, see https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/The-Perfect-Setup.html Thanks, Oleg.
