Re: how can I put the Emacs manifest from a profile to the main profile

[gfp]

Hi Luis,

guix package --export-manifest > manifest-main.scm

At this point, you can run:

guix package -m /home/gfp/Projekte/Emacs/emacs.scm -m manifest-main.scm

1.
I did that and interestingly it worked.

In the terminal it said:
followings packages are being installed.

So I have now 180 packages.

2.


3.

It installed every single package of Emacs (including Emacs 29.4) in my main profile, which I had in the Emacs manifest. I thought it will be like the manifest of Emacs which I had in a separate profile, but now every emacs package got separately installed.

Finally, you can save your manifests wherever you want and edit them as

you want for future upgrades of your profile(s).

So, where is now my emacs manifest?

4.
At least I can open Emacs in my application list.

5.
Can I now delete my Emacs manifest in my separate profile?

thanks

Gottfried

Hi Luis,

thanks for your help.

I have got:
gfp@Tuxedo ~$ guix package --list-profiles
/home/gfp/Projekte/Emacs/guix-profil
/home/gfp/Projekte/Musik/guix-profil
/home/gfp/.config/guix/current
/home/gfp/.guix-profile

If you still have a copy of both manifests, the one that declares Emacs

things only and the one that declares what goes into your default user profile, then you simply tell guix to use both manifests to create a new generation of your main profile:

  guix package -m path/to/manifest-emacs.scm -m

path/to/manifest-main.scm

I would have to write:



Is that all right?

guix package -m /home/gfp/Projekte/Emacs/emacs.scm -m /home/gfp/.guix-profile/manifest

     guix package --export-manifest > manifest-main.scm

At this point, you can run:







     emacs .guix-profile/manifest

Please let us know if things worked well.

Almost right. The second manifest (/home/gfp/.guix-profile/manifest) is not the kind of manifest you can pass to the --manifest option. So, instead, get a manifest from your current main profile by exporting it as follows:     guix package -m /home/gfp/Projekte/Emacs/emacs.scm -m manifest-main.scm Finally, you can save your manifests wherever you want and edit them as you want for future upgrades of your profile(s). For more information about why /home/gfp/.guix-profile/manifest can't be passed as a manifest, you can read the comments in that file. For example:

OpenPGP_0xD9E413C6C4BB32CE.asc

OpenPGP_signature.asc
