List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Errors-To: guix-devel-bounces+gcggd-guix-devel=m.gmane.org@gnu.org Sender: "Guix-devel" To: guix-devel@gnu.org I just went through https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Binary-Installation.html And it works well enough. Two minor niggles: 1. Can we inline section 4 on creating users and build group? I think people easily miss this step now, creating problems a bit later. 2. Add 'guix pull' step. I am no fan of the latter, but doing a 'guix package -i guix' installs an older version which we may want to avoid. Otherwise it is nice as ever. HNY. Pj.
