Hi Julien,

About tweak the doc, for sure. :-)
Even the better is to recommend '--container' and if the kernel does
not have it, then '--pure'.
And I guess that using '--container', the 'gpg' issue should not show
up. I did not checked but what step requires this 'gpg' when "guix
environment guix -- (./bootstrap && ./configure && make)"?


Cheers,
