Subject: [Patch v2 1/2] doc: Symlink daemon start-up files.
Date: Mon, 21 Nov 2016 18:33:30 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1479749611-829-2-git-send-email-h.goebel@crazy-compilers.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1479749611-829-1-git-send-email-h.goebel@crazy-compilers.com>

This patch ensures that always the current profile's daemon will be used.

The .service file contains the path to the guix-daemon within the store. Thus
when copying the file, it will point to the very version of guix-daemon used
at the time of copying – even after system upgrade or when this version has
been garbage collected from the store.

* doc/guix.texi (Binary Installation): Change example code for installing
  the systemd and Upstart files to use symbolic links instead of copying
  the files.
