@subsection Emacs Packages
|
||||
|
||||
When you install Emacs packages with Guix, the elisp files may be placed
|
||||
either in @file{$HOME/.guix-profile/share/emacs/site-lisp/} or in
|
||||
sub-directories of
|
||||
@file{$HOME/.guix-profile/share/emacs/site-lisp/guix.d/}. The latter
|
||||
directory exists because potentially there may exist thousands of Emacs
|
||||
packages and storing all their files in a single directory may be not
|
||||
reliable (because of name conflicts). So we think using a separate
|
||||
directory for each package is a good idea. It is very similar to how
|
||||
the Emacs package system organizes the file structure (@pxref{Package
|
||||
Files,,, emacs, The GNU Emacs Manual}).
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Emacs (installed with Guix) ``knows'' where these packages
|
||||
are placed, so you don't need to perform any configuration. If, for
|
||||
some reason, you want to avoid auto-loading Emacs packages installed
|
||||
with Guix, you can do it by running Emacs with @code{--no-site-file}
|
||||
option (@pxref{Init File,,, emacs, The GNU Emacs Manual}).
