Hi,
I'm looking for some real-world examples for channels.
After reading
<https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Channels.html>
I'm confused:
* AFAIU Section 3.7.1 shows an example for pulling *whole* guix from a
different location. So this needs to be a complete guix-clone
(optionally including my own package modules).
* Section 3.7.2 describes how to add "a Git repository containing [my]
own package modules".
o What files or scm-packages is this git-repo expected to include?
What's the file-layout? Is there a suggested naming-convention?
How to #use-module these packages?
o What happens if files conflict? Which repo will take precedence?
I suggest adding a short example to the manual. To avoid any conflict
with the warinign in sec. 3.7.2 this could be some "personal dotfiles"
package.
Side-note: IMHO 3.7.1 should not be the first section, since this is not
the case most user will want to use.
Thanks in advance for answering
