Re: Difficulty updating Guix System or installing packages

Hi! The output you provided is not very descriptive, at least for me. For long logs you could use pastebin-like sites(e.g. https://paste.debian.net/ ) Try invoking "guix weather" it could help you identify if the problem is actually missing substitutes (see https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/

PAM modules support?

Hi! I couldn't find any documentation on adding custom PAM modules with Guix, is it possible? I see that there are packages providing pam modules eg. "oath-toolkit", but it seems there is no documentation on how to configure PAM with Guix. -- Best regards, Lesik Edelweiss

Re: I want to pin exact versions of software in guix shell. Do I need channels information?

Re: Idiomatic way to run Emacs 30.1?

Emacs 30.1 is available on "emacs-team" branch, so, the best way is probably to wait until it's merged. You could also use package inferiors to add it, but I'm not sure if that is a good idea.
