Hi!
A few lines of context: I'm using guix and contribute for more than a year now, and I'm still perfecting my ability to contribute to it. I maintain my dotfiles open in a (more and more) minimalistic repo, while trying to work more and more directly in local copies of guix (and rde), to directly benefit from my development while diminishing transition costs : https://git.sr.ht/~ngraves/dotfiles Here's the catch: I don't want to create duplicate online repositories (for environmental reasons), so I'm only working locally. Which makes the work more fragile. One feature I would love to have is thus the ability to work with stacked patches on upstream guix instead of local repositories. Thus, I could 1) develop locally 2) send my patches 3) while unapplied, patch my channels with the patches I sent, be it on guix or rde. 4) quickly switch back between "stable" upstream guix + patches and local branch development during the review process. 5) just delete the patches line when they get merge. This would require something like adding a patches field on the channels record-type. Would such a feature be appreciated? Should I work on that or is there a reason not to do this? -- Best regards, Nicolas Graves
