Made some progress and I'll rework on the patches tonight. Current workflow is the following :
In a guix with v2 patches and current guix-local: cd /tmp mkdir -p hello cd hello guix local instantiate hello --> downloads and unpacks hello's source cd hello* guix local build hello --> builds locally and installs in ./out This should work for any package except when there are patches or snippets, I'll work on fixing that too (probably the simplest is to drop the functionality since it's also done in guix local instantiate). I'll work on a v3 and clarify the situation for patches/snippets tonight.
