Will add more jumping links later so navigation is easier. Current TODOs: - [x] Shell installer option: prompt user to re-login for `/etc/profile.d` entry to be picked up - [x] Binary tarball option: prompt user to create `/etc/profile.d` entry and re-login - [x] Fanquake docker option: complete section - [x] Arch Linux AUR option: prompt to start `guix-daemon-latest` unit after finishing "optional setup" section - [x] Building from source option: Insert dependency tree diagram that I made - [x] Building from source option: redo sectioning, kind of a mess right now - [x] Optional setup: make clear which parts are only needed if building from source - [x] Workaround 1 for GnuTLS: perhaps mention how to remove Guix build farm's key - [x] Overall (after everything): Make the links work. Note to self: wherever possible, tell user how to check that something is true rather than branching by installation option. ACKs for top commit: fanquake: ACKfac4814106- going to go ahead and merge this now. It's a lot of documentation, and could probably be nit-picked / improved further, however, that can continue over the next few weeks. I'm sure more (backportable) improvements / clarifications will be made while we progress through RCs towards a new release.
