Hello Pierre,
I’ve been working a lot on some packages in a private channels and my workflow
is usually focused on building properly which is a matter of:
guix build -L /path/to/channel <package>
To test runtime behavior I still have to pull which does mean pulling the
default channel, too. This so far has worked well. If pulling becomes too
much, maybe specifying a commit of the default guix channel could work. What do
you think?
