guix package path

[Antonio Carlos Padoan Junior]

Hi,

I need help to understand why my GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH env variable is not
working as expected.


AFAIU, the variable is correctly set (to my local package channel):

------------
~$ guix describe
Generation 75   Dec 18 2022 20:53:08    (current)
  nonguix e95e2b5
    repository URL: https://gitlab.com/nonguix/nonguix
    branch: master
    commit: e95e2b573cbc4b96bdca2c11540e90d23e6428fc
  guix 0ce1f82
    repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git
    branch: master
    commit: 0ce1f82e5aaac951b21d579eb46bf75cfe6713c0

GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH="/home/antonio/git/my-guix/"
------------

This channel is also available here
https://gitlab.com/acpadoanjr/my-guix.git/
But I want to use it from my local machine while I'm developing.

Using the GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH, I have a local package (sbcl-lispiec) that seems
correctly loaded:

------------
~$ guix search sbcl-lispiec
name: sbcl-lispiec
version: 1.0.2
outputs:

But I cannot build it or install it:

------------
~$ guix build sbcl-lispiec
guix build: error: sbcl-lispiec: unknown package
------------

Why? What am I missing?

Best regards,
