Hi Guix,

Got it! I have been able to upgrade from version 0.12 to version 0.16.

I used 'guix copy' to copy a recent guix on a local server.  Thank you
Gabor for the suggestion.  The steps I followed were:

i) generate signing keys on both systems
ii) copy across public keys and authorize on each system
iii) install guix in the user profile on the server
iv) use 'guix copy --from=localServer /gnu/store/...guix-0.16.0-4...'
Note: this copies the dependencies too
v) set GUILE_LOAD_PATH and GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH on the receiving
system.  Note: set the variables to point to the newly-copied paths in
/gnu/store for guile-gcrypt, guile-sqlite3, guile-git and guile-
bytestructures
vi) use '/gnu/store/...guix-0.16.0-4.../bin/guix pull'
vii) include .config/guix/current/bin in PATH variable
viii) use 'guix package --upgrade'
ix) update guix-daemon.service
x) restart daemon

To finish, I authorized substitutes for ci.guix.info.pub.  I am cooking
with gas again!

Best regards,

Paul.
