My question is: Isn't the purpose of `guix edit' edit package definitions? Then, why when `guix edit <>' is executed, a file under /gnu/store is shown? For the record, I just executed `guix edit emacs' and the file /gnu/store/nxy09dxmm23krdgszgww2v80v8bkcll5-guix-module-union/share/guile/site/3.0/gnu/packages/emacs.scm was opened. How am I supposed to edit the package definition if it is defined in a file under `/gnu/store' (read-only file system)? I might have skipped an important part when reading the documentation. If so, please point me to that part.
