Developers are encouraged to include a `guix.scm' in the root of their proj=
ect
source to set-up a development environment (See 4.2 Invoking =E2=80=98guix =
package=E2=80=99),
so that

    guix environment -l guix.scm

provides a development environment.

IWBN, but=E2=80=A6

> +(define-module (guix)

=E2=80=A6 the (guix) module is a public module, and it must not depend on
anything but the (guix =E2=80=A6) modules it imports.

So unfortunately we can=E2=80=99t just do that.

Perhaps we could have a =E2=80=98.guix.scm=E2=80=99 file though, or
=E2=80=98build-aux/guix.scm=E2=80=99, something like that?

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.

Hmm, and is there a difference between compile-time and run-time?  I do
not understand the rules well enough here...

So I guess that something vaguely this (I really don't like the
command-line "parsing" bit, just a thought experiment)

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;; Naive command-line parser: are we running from Guix source tree
;;    guix build -f guix.scm
;;    guix environment -l guix.scm
;; then return guix@git package
(when (and (file-exists? "guix/gexp.scm")
           (let ((len (length (command-line))))
             (and (> len 3)
                  (let ((tail (list-tail (command-line) (- len 3))))
                    (or (equal? tail '("build" "-f" "guix.scm"))
                        (equal? tail '("environment" "-l" "guix.scm")))))))
  (let ((source-dir (dirname (current-filename))))
    ((@ (guix packages) package)
     (inherit (@ (gnu packages package-management) guix))
     (version "git")
     (source ((@ (guix gexp) local-file) source-dir
              #:recursive? #t
              #:select? ((@ (guix git-download) git-predicate) source-dir))=
))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

is also not possible?  It is also starts to look like a kludge and hard
to get right...bah :)

Yes...I was hoping that we could offer/advise something standardized
that all guix'ified upstreams could/would use.  I think that I've seen
`.guix.scm', but also a `guix.scm' that returns a manifest, so usage
would be `guix environment -m guix.scm', and no way to build the package
itself from git.

Once Guix is blessed `the GNU System' (any day now ;-) we need to have a
a thought-through proposal to amend standards.texi anyway.

Greetings,
janneke
