This is just a method to replace the source, it wont work with more complex changes, those might get introduced in major versions. >Should I create a new package that inherits from emacs and then change version? That would be a possibility if no one has packaged it yet, and it would require a complex understanding of what changed between the versions in the build steps. But it is already packaged, so there is no need to do that. To run it in a shell, you can do `guix time-machine --branch=emacs-team -- shell emacs` and possibly add more emacs packages to the shell here. > >Best regards, >Snikta > Regards, Rutherther
