Re: Help-Guix Digest, Vol 88, Issue 4

Hi Gary,

thank you very much for sharing your Emacs manifest.

I tried to do what you said.

I created a manifest for Emacs only.

After doing it, Guix asked me to set the PATH.

I did it and after that this Emacs Manifest changed my general profile.
It became my general profile.
I couldn’t use my other programmes any more.
So I had to do a rollback.

1.
I don’t know what I did wrong.

2.
AFAIK to create a manifest is not yet a profile.
I have to create a manifest and then to create a profile with it.
Am I right?


2.





Kind regards

Gottfried

If so, after creating a manifest, which commands do I have to use to make it a separate profile? Probably to generate a manifest and make it a separate profile goes together, but I don’t know how to do it.

I do manage all of my Emacs packages with Guix. I list `emacs` and all
of its packages in a manifest file (emacs.scm). It looks like this with
my custom packages elided:

```
(use-modules ((gnu packages) #:select (specifications->manifest)))

(specifications->manifest
  (list "emacs"
        "emacs-adoc-mode"
        "emacs-alsamixer-el"
        "emacs-async"
        "emacs-calibredb"
        "emacs-cider"
        "emacs-clojure-mode"
        "emacs-company"
        "emacs-crdt"
        "emacs-csv-mode"
        "emacs-elpher"
        "emacs-emms"
        "emacs-eww-lnum"
        "emacs-exwm"
        "emacs-flycheck"
        "emacs-flymake-kondor"
        "emacs-flyspell-correct"
        "emacs-forge"
        "emacs-geiser"
        "emacs-geiser-guile"
        "emacs-gnuplot"
        "emacs-google-translate"
        "emacs-helm"
        "emacs-helm-ag"
        "emacs-helm-descbinds"
        "emacs-helm-swoop"
        "emacs-htmlize"
        "emacs-magit"
        "emacs-markdown-mode"
        "emacs-nov-el"
        "emacs-ob-async"
        "emacs-org"
        "emacs-org-pomodoro"
        "emacs-ox-gfm"
        "emacs-paredit"
        "emacs-pdf-tools"
        "emacs-pinentry"
        "emacs-rjsx-mode"
        "emacs-shroud"
        "emacs-telephone-line"
        "emacs-treemacs"
        "emacs-vterm"
        "emacs-web-mode"
        "emacs-which-key"
        "mu"))
```

I actually split up all the user packages on my system into manifests
and isntall each one into its own profile, which I then activate on
startup. However, that's not really necessary for this example. You can
install the manifest packages above into your user profile with this
command:

```
guix package -m emacs.scm
```
