Hello Guix!

When someone’s working on a channel, it’s typical to have that channel
already in your ‘guix’ and to use ‘guix build -L /path/to/checkout PKG’
to test a package from a working copy of the channel. Here’s what it
looks like:

Toggle snippet (52 lines)
$ cat ~/.config/guix/past-channels.scm
(cons (channel
(name 'guix-past)
(url "https://gitlab.inria.fr/guix-hpc/guix-past")
(introduction
(make-channel-introduction
"0c119db2ea86a389769f4d2b9c6f5c41c027e336"
(openpgp-fingerprint
"3CE4 6455 8A84 FDC6 9DB4 0CFB 090B 1199 3D9A EBB5"))))
%default-channels)
$ guix pull -p /tmp/test -C ~/.config/guix/past-channels.scm

[...]

$ /tmp/test/bin/guix build -L ~/src/guix-past/modules autoconf@2.59 -n

The problem as can be seen above is that all these Guile warnings are
confusing at best and useless: there’s nothing the user can do about
them.
