Hi,

For each user, does 'guix pull' also pull in updated Info pages for the Guix manual? I'd like to set INFOPATH accordingly so it's not pointed at the root user's possibly outdated manual inherited from the binary installation of the package manager.

I understand that updated manual pages can be built and viewed via a local Guix checkout as described at https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2017-03/msg00140.html by Chris Marusich: 

> To view your changes, it's helpful to add the 'guix/doc' directory from

> export INFOPATH="$HOME/guix/doc${INFOPATH:+:}$INFOPATH"

> That way, when you invoke 'guix info' (or 'C-h i' in Emacs), you'll see
> the updated version.  I don't know how to preview changes in real-time
> as you modify guix.texi, but if you learn how, please let me know!
