'guix-build' doesn't work for new packages; it returns ": unknown package." I'm using the '-e' option as a workaround, but it's not very convenient. For instance, if I copy the recipe for 'sed' to 'newsed.scm', then replace 'sed' with 'newsed' in that file, and try to build it via 'guix-build newsed', it will return the mentioned error message. However, it will work if I use the '-e' option. Also, I won't get any errors if I try to import it in the REPL. 2. Bison's testsuite fails and I'm not able to fix it. So I'd like to disable it because I want to test 'gobject-introspection'. Why doesn't '(arguments `(#:tests? #f))' disable the testsuite? These issues may seem unrelated, but there is a similarity: My changes have no effect. I've just replaced 'gnu/packages/bison.scm' with an empty file, but 'guix-build bison' doesn't raise any errors. Is it related?
