Great!


After run ‘guix pull’ twice, I have got ‘~/.config/guix/current’, then
use it to do a system reconfigure for ‘/etc/profile’.

But the guix manual doesn’t got updated, my ‘INFOPATH’ contains:

- /home/iyzsong/.guix-profile/share/info
- /run/current-system/profile/share/info
- /home/iyzsong/.config/guix/current/share/info
- /home/iyzsong/.guix-profile/share/info
- /run/current-system/profile/share/info

The last there are from the ‘export’ statement of ‘/etc/profile’, the
first two are added by ‘source’ the profiles.  Since there is a guix in
the system profile contains the old info manual, the current one won’t
be picked.

I think we should make ‘INFOPATH’ a search path of the ‘current’ guix
profile, so that it overrides previous ones.
