Hi!

Mathieu Othacehe <othacehe <at> gnu.org> skribis:

> Any idea on how to improve this inception problem?

We can arrange for ‘installation-os’ to use Guix from the current
commit, as built by (guix self), instead of using the ‘guix’ package.
(For the record, (gnu ci) already does that in ‘system-test-jobs’ to
make installation tests faster.)

I’ll take a look hopefully in the coming days and send a patch here.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
