Hello Guix!

Here’s a build program I used to generate all the gnu.org/s/guix/manual
hierarchy, with all the languages, HTML and PDF.

You can drop in your Guix tree and run, say:

  GUIX_MANUAL_VERSION=1.0.1 guix build -f build.scm

to build the manual for 1.0.1.

It’s rough on the edges so I’d like to polish it and then commit it
under doc/ I guess.  In the meantime, it can be used, for instance to
update the copy of the manual at guix.info.

Regarding PDFs, I failed to use something smaller than the big ‘texlive’
package.  I’d very much welcome help in that area!

Unfortunately, Texinfo cannot produce PDFs for non-Latin alphabets
currently.  It would be nice to see how we can fix it or work around it.

Feedback welcome!
