Hi. I want to use Guix to install notmuch (with the Emacs interface) and emacs-guix; however, since Guix does not have Emacs 26, I would like to keep using my locally-compiled Emacs 26.0.91. Is that possible? Would it be quicker to learn Guix packaging and package Emacs 26.0.91 for Guix?
With Emacs, everything is possible :-) You'd have to do two things in your Emacs configuration: - add the notmuch elisp directory from Guix to load-path - make sure that your Guix profile is on exec-path You probably want the latter anyway, so the additional effort looks small.On the other hand, packaging Emacs 26 for Guix is a nice exercise and useful for lots of other people, so I don't want do discourage you from trying!
A third option is to use the notmuch executable from Guix but installing the e-lisp part via elpa into your non-Guix Emacs. Even with somewhat different versions, this should work fine, since the notmuch command line interface is very stable.
Konrad.
