Ah, now I see. The purpose of ".dir-locals.el" is to set some variables locally for the current project (the contents of the current directory). I think it doesn't make sense to move dir-locals anywhere, as it is used to set up emacs (to set fill-column, to disable TABs, etc.) when you edit guix code from a git checkout. > It probably works for gentoo .ebuild because > they have a different file extension than bash, but at their core > it is bash (if I don't mix it up right now).
