I'm not sure how easy it is to maintain a system with extra packages like this, but it'd be nice to be able to use an "overlay" repo as you can in Gentoo for personal/custom packages.
Would love to ping davexunit to see if he can elaborate, because I don't see any specific way to add repositories from the documentation.
Ahh, well, then it appears I have to manage a directory of packages myself, as well as any dependencies outside of the Guix store, right? Would be nice to just have a secondary source, as I do with MELPA for Emacs, or overlays for Gentoo.
Is something similar/comparable planned to be added?
Orrr should someone step forward and volunteer to add it as a feature...?
