What does it mean when patch disappears from qa.guix.gnu.org patches list?

Hello Guix! Recently the patch https://issues.guix.gnu.org/70341 has completely disappeared from https://qa.guix.gnu.org/patches? list of patches under consideration. I would like to know what does it mean? The patch was considered inappropriate and rejected? Or some kind of error in patch proces

Cookbook recipe from "The Repository as a Channel" section does not work for Guix with properly configured GUILE_LOAD_PATH

Hello Guix!, Consider a minimal test git repository [1] created in line with Cookbook recommendations [2]. It has the following file structure: . ├── content ├── .guix-channel ├── guix.scm → .guix/modules/test-repo-package.scm └── .guix     └── modules    └─

Re: Cookbook recipe from "The Repository as a Channel" section does not work for Guix with properly configured GUILE_LOAD_PATH

Hello Florian, There is no grievance for anything. Sorry, if my message has such a tinge, it does not correspond to what was meant. Also I do not think that 'local-file' is doing something wrong. I suspect that introducing changes to such an ubiquitous procedure on such a minor subject is not nec

Hello Attila Lendvai, Thank you very much for your hints and references! Indeed I was puzzled by weird behavior of 'current-filename'. I wrote another alternative using '(module-filename (current-module))' based on https://issues.guix.gnu.org/55464 See alt2 branch of [1]. This variant does not

Re: Cookbook recipe from "The Repository as a Channel" section does not work for Guix with properly configured GUILE_LOAD_PATH

Hello Florian! Here is my version of your diff in attachment. With this patch 'guix build test-repo' works for the main branch of test-repo-channel, i.e. it seems to solve one problem (I'm sure that 'guix build guile@3.0.99-git' works as well for the guile channel, but didn't check this explicitl

Re: Cookbook recipe from "The Repository as a Channel" section does not work for Guix with properly configured GUILE_LOAD_PATH

On the second problem, I have found that while it is impossible to obtain test-repo source code via 'guix build -S test-repo', it can be retrieved programmatically from 'guix repl' REPL using this commands: (use-modules (test-repo-package) (guix packages) (guix gexp)

Re: Cookbook recipe from "The Repository as a Channel" section does not work for Guix with properly configured GUILE_LOAD_PATH

Hello Florian, I am sure you have nothing to apologize for. I have been thinking about your suggestion to submit `absolute-dirname' patch. In the Guix manual at the end of the section 6.7 Creating a channel [1] there is the following statement about Guix policy on changing API, not to mention ABI
