Re: Cookbook recipe from "The Repository as a Channel" section does not work for Guix with properly configured GUILE_LOAD_PATH

[pelzflorian (Florian Pelz)]

Thank you, Nigko, for persevering.  It would be good if Guix’ claimed
features had no need for a GUILE_LOAD_PATH clearing work-around.  I had
not thought anymore that the source checkout can be referenced.

Could you send a patch about the `guix build' diff you debugged to
guix-patches@gnu.org?  Preferrably you would drop the whole
absolute-dirname’s `if' and canonicalize unconditionally, I guess.  Make
explicit in the docstring or in comments that symlinks are the reason.

`guix build -S' was just an example and a thought.  A fix would be nice,
especially now that you found the reason, but is nowhere near as
important.

Regards,
Florian
