Pretty sure that would only make sense if you were modifying the guix or gnu namespaces, or in other words, Guix itself. > * maybe I should use --load-path w/ guix build instead ? > not sure, if this make sense in my case. It does, that is how you should be building packages.

I've made that mistake before. Testing it on one of my Guix systems: ``` root@blue ~# cd /tmp root@blue /tmp# git clone http://git.a-rx.info/channel/ Cloning into 'channel'... root@blue /tmp# guix package --load-path="/tmp/channel" --show=ghc-filepattern name: ghc-filepattern ```
