Add (guix describe) and use it to initialize '%package-search-path'.
* guix/describe.scm: New file. * Makefile.am (MODULES): Add it. * gnu/packages.scm (%default-package-module-path): New variable. (%package-module-path): Honor 'package-path-entries'. * build-aux/update-NEWS.scm (main): Use %DEFAULT-PACKAGE-MODULE-PATH instead of (last (%package-module-path)).

+;;; Commentary:
+;;;
+;;; This module provides supporting code to allow a Guix instance to find, at
+;;; run time, which profile it's in (profiles created by 'guix pull'). That
+;;; allows it to read meta-information about itself (e.g., repository URL and
+;;; commit ID) and to find other channels available in the same profile. It's
+;;; a bit like ELPA's pkg-info.el.
+;;;
+;;; Code:
+

+ "Return the profile (created by 'guix pull') the calling process lives in,
+or #f if this is not applicable."

+ ;; Note: We want to do _lexical dot-dot resolution_. Using ".."
+ ;; for real would instead take us into the /gnu/store directory
+ ;; that ~/.config/guix/current/bin points to, whereas we want to
+ ;; obtain ~/.config/guix/current.

+path. These entries are taken from the 'guix pull' profile the calling
