Dear Guixers,

Is anyone aware of a way to have different Emacs configurations (i.e. 
different add-on packages) in distinct profiles?

I tried to set up a new profile with just "emacs" in it, but when I run 
that Emacs it load all the Emacs Lisp packages from my main profile. I 
traced this down to site-start.el loading guix-emacs.el, which has the 
main profile hard-coded and therefore loads all the packages from there:

   (defvar guix-user-profile (expand-file-name "~/.guix-profile"))

Since nothing runs before site-start.el, I don't see how I could 
override this definition. My only choice is to use the -Q option on the 
Emacs command line to bypass site-start.el altogether. But then I don't 
get the packages from my new profile either.

Konrad.
