I tried to update emacs yesterday and ran into this issue, and a few other issues with emacs packages as well. I was surprised that we merged an update to emacs when some packages (well used ones at that) were failing to build. I realize emacs has a large tree of packages depending on it, but I've always been taught to check to ensure everything remains building. This makes sense to me because I thought one of the reasons a distribution exists is to handle the integration of everything for its users. This seems like it breaks that ethos. Can anyone point me to some documentation or explain how these decisions are made? All I could find was this: For important changes, check that dependent packages (if applicable) are not affected by the change https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/devel/en/guix.html#Submitting-Patches Thank you to all the contributors. -- Katherine
