I believe this is certainly feasible, and desirable.

As Maxim noted, the particular manual already exists. But we need to think = about how exactly to package the Info manuals. Since Guix=E2=80=99s process= of packaging is a bit differently organized, we=E2=80=99d have to figure o= ut where exactly should the package definitions for these manuals live in t= he Guix source tree. I see that the C manual is in gnu/packages/c.scm and S= ICP in gnu/packages/scheme.scm, so maybe each manual could go into the rele= vant program/language=E2=80=99s guile module. Or, should we have a module j= ust for the Info manuals? I see gnu/packages/texinfo.scm and it has mostly = a few packages related to TeXinfo readers, could we put them there, or only= the miscellaneous ones? Those more knowledgeable about Guix=E2=80=99s source-tree management should= shed light on this. Regards, --=20 Divya Ranjan, Philosophy, Mathematics, Libre Software.
