Hi,

Maxime Devos <maximedevos <at> telenet.be> skribis:

“make authenticate” runs ‘guix git authenticate’ with the right
parameters; importantly, it runs the already-installed ‘guix’, not the
one in the build tree, so it’s safe (prepending “./pre-inst-env”
wouldn’t be safe as you wrote).

So I’m not sure we really need changes; WDYT?
