I think manifests require the (guix profiles) module.

Could I inquire why you opted to remove the function for dev-packages?
:)

Thanks!

Hmm, my manifests work without importing "(guix profiles)".

This was a long time ago, but the reason I imported that module is that in the beginning I was thinking on providing a manifest that would create a profile generation that was the union of the packages installed in the current user profile plus the packages required to develop the website. I was going to use "(profile-manifest %user-profile-directory)" for that, which comes from "(guix profiles)". But that was before I knew you could use different Guix profiles for different projects instead of polluting your user profile, so I changed my mind and forgot to delete "(guix profiles)".

I was thinking on separating package requirements with variables such as "dev-packages", "test-packages", "production-packages", etc., but then I thought it was unnecessary at this point because the website does not currently have that many requirements...

Spoiled patch. There is a recent update to the website manifest (see commit 05e384e811ab58f8d7f37ab92cf9dac416317af5).
