Indeed, this is very useful! :-) > Do you think we could add them under etc/emacs in the repo, and somehow > have them automatically available? Or should it be in Emacs-Guix? It would be nice if this was available automatically through emacs-guix. Apart from the snippets, it would also be nice to somehow automatically update a package definition -- that is, change the version number, download the new source, and update the hash. I was trying to work this out. I was able to get the Guix REPL to download the new source tarball, but couldn't figure out how to retrieve the new hash from the Guix REPL. Any pointers?
