use-package-ensure-guix

This is a use-package-ensure implementation that will install ensured packages using GNU Guix instead of elpa.

Usage

use-package can be used to manage use-package-ensure-guix (just don’t :ensure it).

Place this before all other use-package forms.

(require 'use-package)
(use-package use-package-ensure-guix
  :custom
  (use-package-ensure-function #'use-package-ensure-guix))

The use-package-ensure-guix-profile variable can be customized to use any profile (even the default ~/.guix-profile). Because of the way use-package works, there is no way to apply all of the use-package forms at once as a manifest.

Instead a new generation is created for every package not already installed. To avoid having 20 generations created on the first run you may wish to bootstrap your profile with a manifest which contains your emacs packages.

Profile Management

This package only detects when new use-package forms are added to init.el, it does not know when they are deleted.

The function use-package-ensure-guix-show-ensured allows for management of the profile using the emacs-guix UI.
