The task here is to distribute Info manuals in a few platform-independent non-source forms, perhaps Info and HTML. Perhaps PDF files too. That is so much simpler than what Guix has to do that using Guix for this would be a quick and dirty hack. The task here can be done with something much simpler, and if we decide to do it, writing a clean solution won't take very long. And it will be simpler to understand than Guix. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
