I'm afraid that I
1] poorly worded the report
2] misunderstood
OK, let me retry.
I have Gentoo installation, guix 0.8 built using my ebuild and installed into system.
According to this part of documentation
http://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/guix.html#Invoking-guix-pull
I should be able to call `guix pull' and my guix will be updated.
It's not written there that it will be installed to
~/.config/guix/latest but guix prints it in the end.
So, when I call it:
tcech@venom ~ $ LC_ALL=C LANG=C /usr/bin/guix pull
starting download of `/tmp/guix-file.cSPiQM' from `http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/snapshot/guix-master.tar.gz'...

updated GNU Guix successfully deployed under `/home/tcech/.config/guix/latest'
and then ask for version:
tcech@venom ~ $ LC_ALL=C LANG=C /usr/bin/guix --version
guix (GNU Guix) 0.8

I can see that still old version is used.
The problem is
- documentation is missing some important part that I need to set up
environment so new version will be used (adjusting PATH and
GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH?)
or
- guix should check for installation in ~/.config/guix/latest by
itself and does not
Please, ignore the part with `guix package -i guix' - it will just
cause installation of third instance of guix and this one will show
higher version as environment is set for installed packages
correctly. And this part confused me before.
I hope I made it more clear now.
Thanks,
S_W
