Hello Guix!

I have just pushed the new ‘guix pull’, with a few improvements compared
to the patches I had sent:

  • Both guix.info and all of guix.LANG.info are now built.

  • The derivation that builds locale data depends only on the po/
    directory, so it won’t be rebuilt every time.  Likewise for the
    derivation that builds the manual.

  • Meta-data about what was pulled is kept in manifest entries, using
    the ‘properties’ discussed in <https://bugs.gnu.org/31442>.
    Currently the UI doesn’t use it but you can see that info in
    ~/.config/guix/current/manifest.

Let me know how it goes!

Ludo’.

Subject: guix pull doesn't update the user manual

guix pull should build and install the latest documentation of Guix to
the user profile so that `info guix' always displays the current
documentation.

This seems to confuse Guix users every now and then, myself included,
and the work around of cloning a full copy of the guix sources just to
build the manual is not user friendly nor trivial.
