Good idea. Done in aca738f. Step #6 becomes:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
6. Make the ‘guix’ command available to other users on the machine,
for instance with:
# mkdir -p /usr/local/bin
# cd /usr/local/bin
# ln -s /var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/guix-profile/bin/guix
It is also a good idea to make the Info version of this manual
available there:
# mkdir -p /usr/local/share/info
# cd /usr/local/share/info
# for i in /var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/guix-profile/share/info/*
;
do ln -s $i ; done
That way, assuming ‘/usr/local/share/info’ is in the search path,
running ‘info guix’ will open this manual (*note (texinfo)Other
Info Directories::, for more details on changing the Info search
path.)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Carl, WDYT?
Thanks,
