The “emacs-ess” package does not behave like all other Emacs packages.
Its files are installed to “$out/share/emacs/site-lisp/ess” (not
“guix.d”) and there are no autoloads.

I don’t know how to get ESS to work like this.  Should the package be
changed such that it installs autoload files like all other packages?

Yeah, I think its elisp files should be put either directly into
"site-lisp" (as it is done by 'magit') or into "site-lisp/guix.d/..."
(as it is done by 'let-alist', for example).

As for the "...-autoloads.el" file, it can be created with
'emacs-generate-autoloads' procedure (see 'emacs-wget' or 'git-modes'
for examples).

Note: I've not looked at 'emacs-ess', so it was a theoretical comment :-)

Dear,

Digging in the bug tracker, I found this bug [1] about ESS saying that
it does not behave like all other Emacs packages; installing in
'$out/share/emacs/site-lisp/ess' instead of "guix.d".

Well, all other packages do install in '$out/share/emacs/site-lisp/'
as the manual says [2].  Because the Emacs packages location changes
recently, AFAIU.

Does it make sense to close it now?

Cheers,
simon

Yes, I think this is no longer a problem now that we no longer use
“guix.d”.
