Ah, now I see what you mean, thanks! And emacs can be started with "--no-site-file" so my concerns about avoiding this are fulfilled. For simplicity, we can even add "site-start.el" to the guix repo I think. >> Returning to 'guix-config' problem, we can make a "soft" dependency on >> 'guix-profiles' (see the attached patch), so the only file needed for >> finding emacs packages in "guix.d" will be "guix-emacs.el".

I > guess it needs your patch which I didn't try. Yes, it meant to be used with the patch. So IIUC we need the following patches to make our Emacs find packages in a user profile: - patch for stripping "guix-emacs.el" from extra dependencies (attached to the previous message); - patch for adding "site-start.el" (attached to this message); - modified version of your patch to copy "site-start.el" and "guix-emacs.el" to the proper places.
