Thanks, what do you do with the scm (Scheme) package definition file? Does
it
play a part in that? Do we place it in the current directory?
The .scm file usually stays in the directory gnu/packages/
What if I used 'guix download', and the tarball is in /nix/store? Will it
just
work?
No. "guix download" is a convenience function for package developers. It
downloads the
tarball, places it in the store and reports the hash. Nothing else (so far as
I'm aware).
Wait, what is "pre-inst-env"? I'm a little lost. I'm just trying to
contribute
a package of my shell, so I can use it in Emacs.
pre-inst-env merely sets a number of environment parameters so that you can
build and install
newly defined pacakges without having to have those package definitions
actually installed.
Maybe having a look at what is currently in gnu/packags/emacs.scm will help
