GNU Guix comes with several useful modules (known as ``guix.el'') for
|
|
|
|
GNU@tie{}Emacs which are intended to make an Emacs user interaction with
|
|
|
|
Guix convenient and fun.

On the Guix System Distribution (@pxref{GNU Distribution}), ``guix.el''
|
|
|
|
is ready to use, provided Guix is installed system-wide, which is the
|
|
|
|
case by default. So if that is what you're using, you can happily skip
|
|
|
|
this section and read about the fun stuff.
|
|
|
|
|
2015-05-23 12:42:20 +02:00
|
|
|
If you're not yet a happy user of GuixSD, a little bit of setup is needed.
|
2014-08-27 14:44:17 +02:00
|
|
|
To be able to use ``guix.el'', you need to install the following
|
|
|
|
packages:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@itemize
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
|
|
@uref{http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/, GNU Emacs}, version 24.3 or
|
|
|
|
later;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
|
|
@uref{http://nongnu.org/geiser/, Geiser}, version 0.3 or later: it is
|
|
|
|
used for interacting with the Guile process.
|
|
|
|
|
2015-08-14 09:47:10 +02:00
|
|
|
@item
|
|
|
|
@uref{https://github.com/magit/magit/, magit-popup library}. You
|
|
|
|
already have this library if you use Magit 2.1.0 or later. This library
|
|
|
|
is an optional dependency---it is required only for @kbd{M-x@tie{}guix}
|
|
|
|
command (@pxref{Emacs Popup Interface}).
|
|
|
|
|
2014-08-27 14:44:17 +02:00
|
|
|
@end itemize
|
|
|
|
|
2015-06-07 20:43:58 +02:00
|
|
|
When it is done ``guix.el'' may be configured by requiring a special
|
|
|
|
@code{guix-init} file---i.e., by adding the following code into your
|
|
|
|
init file (@pxref{Init File,,, emacs, The GNU Emacs Manual}):
|
2014-08-27 14:44:17 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
2015-06-07 20:43:58 +02:00
|
|
|
(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/directory-with-guix.el")
|
2014-08-27 14:44:17 +02:00
|
|
|
(require 'guix-init nil t)
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
2015-06-07 20:43:58 +02:00
|
|
|
So the only thing you need to figure out is where the directory with
|
|
|
|
elisp files for Guix is placed. It depends on how you installed Guix:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@itemize
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
|
|
If it was installed by a package manager of your distribution or by a
|
|
|
|
usual @code{./configure && make && make install} command sequence, then
|
|
|
|
elisp files are placed in a standard directory with Emacs packages
|
|
|
|
(usually it is @file{/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/}), which is already in
|
|
|
|
@code{load-path}, so there is no need to add that directory there.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
|
|
If you used a binary installation method (@pxref{Binary Installation}),
|
|
|
|
then Guix is installed somewhere in the store, so the elisp files are
|
|
|
|
placed in @file{/gnu/store/@dots{}-guix-0.8.2/share/emacs/site-lisp/} or
|
|
|
|
alike. However it is not recommended to refer directly to a store
|
|
|
|
directory. Instead you can install Guix using Guix itself with
|
|
|
|
@command{guix package -i guix} command (@pxref{Invoking guix package})
|
|
|
|
and add @file{~/.guix-profile/share/emacs/site-lisp/} directory to
|
|
|
|
@code{load-path} variable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
|
|
If you did not install Guix at all and prefer a hacking way
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Running Guix Before It Is Installed}), along with augmenting
|
|
|
|
@code{load-path} you need to set @code{guix-load-path} variable to the
|
|
|
|
same directory, so your final configuration will look like this:
|
2014-08-27 14:44:17 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
2015-06-07 20:43:58 +02:00
|
|
|
(let ((dir "/path/to/your-guix-git-tree/emacs"))
|
|
|
|
(add-to-list 'load-path dir)
|
|
|
|
(setq guix-load-path dir))
|
|
|
|
(require 'guix-init nil t)
|
2014-08-27 14:44:17 +02:00
|
|
|
@end example
|
2015-06-07 20:43:58 +02:00

|
|
|
|
2014-12-02 08:36:25 +01:00
|
|
|
By default, along with autoloading (@pxref{Autoload,,, elisp, The GNU
|
|
|
|
Emacs Lisp Reference Manual}) the main interactive commands for
|
|
|
|
``guix.el'' (@pxref{Emacs Commands}), requiring @code{guix-init} will
|
|
|
|
also autoload commands for the Emacs packages installed in your user
|
|
|
|
profile.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To disable automatic loading of installed Emacs packages, set
|
|
|
|
@code{guix-package-enable-at-startup} variable to @code{nil} before
|
|
|
|
requiring @code{guix-init}. This variable has the same meaning for
|
|
|
|
Emacs packages installed with Guix, as @code{package-enable-at-startup}
|
2014-12-03 18:25:27 +01:00
|
|
|
for the built-in Emacs package system (@pxref{Package Installation,,,
|
2014-12-02 08:36:25 +01:00
|
|
|
emacs, The GNU Emacs Manual}).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can activate Emacs packages installed in your profile whenever you
|
|
|
|
want using @kbd{M-x@tie{}guix-emacs-load-autoloads}.

Once ``guix.el'' has been successfully configured, you should be able to
|
2015-08-13 19:16:29 +02:00
|
|
|
use a visual interface for routine package management tasks, pretty much

like the @command{guix package} command (@pxref{Invoking guix package}).

|
|

|
@itemize
|
|
|

@item browse and display packages and generations;
|

Analogously on GuixSD you can also display system generations:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@table @kbd
|
|
|
|
@item M-x guix-system-generations
|
|
|
|
@item M-x guix-last-system-generations
|
|
|
|
@item M-x guix-system-generations-by-time
|
|
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
|
2014-10-21 09:48:28 +02:00
|
|
|
You can also invoke the @command{guix pull} command (@pxref{Invoking
|
|
|
|
guix pull}) from Emacs using:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@table @kbd
|
|
|
|
@item M-x guix-pull
|
|
|
|
With @kbd{C-u}, make it verbose.
|
|
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once @command{guix pull} has succeeded, the Guix REPL is restared. This
|
|
|
|
allows you to keep using the Emacs interface with the updated Guix.

@itemx r
|

Go backward/forward by the history of the displayed results (this
|
|

history is similar to the history of the Emacs @code{help-mode} or
|
|
|
|
@code{Info-mode}).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item g
|
|
|
|
Revert current buffer: update information about the displayed
|
|
|
|
packages/generations and redisplay it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item R
|
|
|

Redisplay current buffer (without updating information).
|

|
|
|
2015-05-27 19:33:42 +02:00
|
|
|
@item M
|
|
|
|
Apply manifest to the current profile or to a specified profile, if
|
|
|
|
prefix argument is used. This has the same meaning as @code{--manifest}
|
|
|
|
option (@pxref{Invoking guix package}).

@emph{Hint:} If you need several ``list'' or ``info'' buffers, you can
|
|
|
|
simlpy @kbd{M-x clone-buffer} them, and each buffer will have its own
|
|
|
|
history.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@emph{Warning:} Name/version pairs cannot be used to identify packages
|
|
|
|
(because a name is not necessarily unique), so ``guix.el'' uses special
|
|
|
|
identifiers that live only during a guile session, so if the Guix REPL
|
|
|
|
was restarted, you may want to revert ``list'' buffer (by pressing
|
|
|
|
@kbd{g}).

If you ever used Magit, you know what ``popup interface'' is
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Top,,, magit-popup, Magit-Popup User Manual}). Even if you are
|
|
|
|
not acquainted with Magit, there should be no worries as it is very
|
|
|
|
intuitive.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So @kbd{M-x@tie{}guix} command provides a top-level popup interface for
|
|
|
|
all available guix commands. When you select an option, you'll be
|
|
|
|
prompted for a value in the minibuffer. Many values have completions,
|
|
|
|
so don't hesitate to press @key{TAB} key. Multiple values (for example,
|
|
|
|
packages or lint checkers) should be separated by commas.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After specifying all options and switches for a command, you may choose
|
|
|
|
one of the available actions. The following default actions are
|
|
|
|
available for all commands:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@itemize
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
|
|
Run the command in the Guix REPL. It is faster than running
|
|
|
|
@code{guix@tie{}@dots{}} command directly in shell, as there is no
|
|
|
|
need to run another guile process and to load required modules there.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
|
|
Run the command in a shell buffer. You can set
|
|
|
|
@code{guix-run-in-shell-function} variable to fine tune the shell buffer
|
|
|
|
you want to use.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
|
|
Add the command line to the kill ring (@pxref{Kill Ring,,, emacs, The

Several commands (@command{guix graph}, @command{guix system shepherd-graph}
|
2015-10-16 16:50:36 +02:00
|
|
|
and @command{guix system extension-graph}) also have a ``View graph''
|
|
|
|
action, which allows you to view a generated graph using @command{dot}
|
|
|
|
command (specified by @code{guix-dot-program} variable). By default a
|
|
|
|
PNG file will be saved in @file{/tmp} directory and will be opened
|
|

directly in Emacs. This behavior may be changed with the following
|

|
|
|
|
@table @code
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item guix-find-file-function
|
|
|
|
Function used to open a generated graph. If you want to open a graph in
|
|
|
|
an external program, you can do it by modifying this variable---for
|
|
|
|
example, you can use a functionality provided by the Org Mode
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Top,,, org, The Org Manual}):
|
|

output format (for example, into @code{-Tpdf}), you also need to change
|
|
|
|
the next variable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item guix-dot-file-name-function
|
|
|
|
Function used to define a name of the generated graph file. Default
|
|
|
|
name is @file{/tmp/guix-emacs-graph-XXXXXX.png}.
|
|
|
|
|
|

So, for example, if you want to generate and open a PDF file in your
|
|
|
|
Emacs, you may change the settings like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
(defun my-guix-pdf-graph ()
|
|
|
|
"/tmp/my-current-guix-graph.pdf")
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(setq guix-dot-default-arguments '("-Tpdf")
|
|
|
|
guix-dot-file-name-function 'my-guix-pdf-graph)
|
|
|
|

GNU@tie{}Guix also comes with ``guix-prettify.el''. It provides a minor
|
|
|
|
mode for abbreviating store file names by replacing hash sequences of
|
|
|
|
symbols with ``@dots{}'':
|

|
|
@example
|
|
|

/gnu/store/72f54nfp6g1hz873w8z3gfcah0h4nl9p-foo-0.1
|
|
|
|
@result{} /gnu/store/…-foo-0.1
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once you set up ``guix.el'' (@pxref{Emacs Initial Setup}), the following
|
|
|
|
commands become available:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@table @kbd
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item M-x guix-prettify-mode
|
|
|
|
Enable/disable prettifying for the current buffer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item M-x global-guix-prettify-mode
|
|
|
|
Enable/disable prettifying globally.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To automatically enable @code{guix-prettify-mode} globally on Emacs
|
|
|
|
start, add the following line to your init file:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
(global-guix-prettify-mode)
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to enable it only for specific major modes, add it to the
|
|
|
|
mode hooks (@pxref{Hooks,,, emacs, The GNU Emacs Manual}), for example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
(add-hook 'shell-mode-hook 'guix-prettify-mode)
|
|
|
|
(add-hook 'dired-mode-hook 'guix-prettify-mode)

@section Build Log Mode
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
GNU@tie{}Guix provides major and minor modes for highlighting build
|
|
|
|
logs. So when you have a file with a package build output---for
|
|
|
|
example, a file returned by @command{guix build --log-file @dots{}}
|
|
|
|
command (@pxref{Invoking guix build}), you may call @kbd{M-x
|
|
|
|
guix-build-log-mode} command in the buffer with this file. This major
|
|
|
|
mode highlights some lines specific to build output and provides the
|
|
|
|
following key bindings:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@table @kbd
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item M-n
|
|
|
|
Move to the next build phase.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item M-p
|
|
|
|
Move to the previous build phase.
|
|
|
|
|
2015-09-15 20:27:44 +02:00
|
|
|
@item @key{TAB}
|
|
|
|
Toggle (show/hide) the body of the current build phase.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item S-@key{TAB}
|
|
|
|
Toggle (show/hide) the bodies of all build phases.
|
|
|
|
|
2015-09-12 21:16:42 +02:00
|
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is also @kbd{M-x guix-build-log-minor-mode} which also provides
|
2015-10-31 20:01:45 +01:00
|
|
|
the same highlighting and the same key bindings as the major mode, but
|
|
|
|
prefixed with @kbd{C-c}. By default, this minor mode is enabled in
|
|
|
|
shell buffers (@pxref{Interactive Shell,,, emacs, The GNU Emacs
|
|
|
|
Manual}). If you don't like it, set
|
|
|
|
@code{guix-build-log-minor-mode-activate} to nil.

Another feature that becomes available after configuring Emacs interface
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Emacs Initial Setup}) is completing of @command{guix}
|
|
|
|
subcommands, options, packages and other things in @code{shell}
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Interactive Shell,,, emacs, The GNU Emacs Manual}) and

@code{eshell} (@pxref{Top,,, eshell, Eshell: The Emacs Shell}).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

It works the same way as other completions do. Just press @key{TAB}
|
|
|
|
when your intuition tells you.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And here are some examples, where pressing @key{TAB} may complete

something:

By default, when you open a Scheme file, @code{guix-devel-mode} will be
|
|
|
|
activated (if you don't want it, set @code{guix-devel-activate-mode} to
|
|
|
|
nil). This minor mode provides the following key bindings:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@table @kbd
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item C-c . k
|
|
|
|
Copy the name of the current Guile module into kill ring
|
|
|
|
(@code{guix-devel-copy-module-as-kill}).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item C-c . u
|
|
|
|
Use the current Guile module. Often after opening a Scheme file, you
|
|
|
|
want to use a module it defines, so you switch to the Geiser REPL and
|
|
|
|
write @code{,use (some module)} there. You may just use this command
|
|
|
|
instead (@code{guix-devel-use-module}).
|
|
|
|
|
2015-07-24 19:31:11 +02:00
|
|
|
@item C-c . b
|
|
|
|
Build a package defined by the current variable definition. The
|
|
|
|
building process is run in the current Geiser REPL. If you modified the
|
|
|
|
current package definition, don't forget to reevaluate it before calling
|
|
|
|
this command---for example, with @kbd{C-M-x} (@pxref{To eval or not to
|
|
|
|
eval,,, geiser, Geiser User Manual})
|
|
|
|
(@code{guix-devel-build-package-definition}).
|
|
|
|
|
2015-10-09 15:45:24 +02:00
|
|
|
@item C-c . s
|
|
|
|
Build a source derivation of the package defined by the current variable
|
|
|
|
definition. This command has the same meaning as @code{guix build -S}
|
|
|
|
shell command (@pxref{Invoking guix build})
|
|
|
|
(@code{guix-devel-build-package-source}).
|
|
|
|
|
2015-10-01 20:16:18 +02:00
|
|

@item C-c . l
|
|
|
|
Lint (check) a package defined by the current variable definition
|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Invoking guix lint}) (@code{guix-devel-lint-package}).

Unluckily, there is a limitation related to long-running REPL commands.
|
|
|
|
When there is a running process in a Geiser REPL, you are not supposed
|
|
|
|
to evaluate anything in a scheme buffer, because this will ``freeze''
|
|
|
|
the REPL: it will stop producing any output (however, the evaluating
|
|
|
|
process will continue---you will just not see any progress anymore). Be
|
|
|
|
aware: even moving the point in a scheme buffer may ``break'' the REPL
|
|
|
|
if Autodoc (@pxref{Autodoc and friends,,, geiser, Geiser User Manual})
|
|
|
|
is enabled (which is the default).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So you have to postpone editing your scheme buffers until the running
|
|
|
|
evaluation will be finished in the REPL.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, to avoid this limitation, you may just run another Geiser
|
|
|
|
REPL, and while something is being evaluated in the previous REPL, you
|
|
|
|
can continue editing a scheme file with the help of the current one.

The continuous integration server at @code{hydra.gnu.org} builds all

build status of specific packages, discover recent and ongoing builds,
|
|
|
|
view build logs, and so on. This interface is mostly the same as the

|
|
|
|
(@pxref{Emacs Package Management}).

parameters (project, jobset, job and system).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item M-x guix-hydra-queued-builds

the current build. Also both a list of builds and a list of jobsets
|
|
|
