Hi Jean Louis,

I suggest to do the following:

  * clone the guix repository

  * add the package definition to an existing file (such as
    “gnu/packages/messaging.scm”)

  * then run “./pre-inst-env guix build loudmouth”

That’s closer to how most of us work on Guix and you don’t have to
add the variable name to the end to evaluate it.

This will also make it easier for you to generate a patch by commiting
your change and then running “git format-patch -1”.
