Hello Pierre, I’ve been working a lot on some packages in a private channels and my workflow is usually focused on building properly which is a matter of:
guix build -L /path/to/channel <package> To test runtime behavior I still have to pull which does mean pulling the default channel, too. This so far has worked well. If pulling becomes too much, maybe specifying a commit of the default guix channel could work. What do you think? - John > On Feb 4, 2019, at 3:16 PM, Pierre Neidhardt <m...@ambrevar.xyz> wrote: > > Hi again :) > > I was discussing "channels in practice" with Zimoun and we were asking > ourselves: Can we pull a specific channel without pulling > %default-channels? > > If not, is there a convenient way to edit+test the package definitions > in local channels? > > Maybe I'm missing the obvious? > > -- > Pierre Neidhardt > https://ambrevar.xyz/
