When reacting, I didn't realize that most of your statement is
actually
documented in the recent "Running Guix Before It Is Installed" node in
doc/guix.texi.
Nevertheless, I find it not really relevant to give hacking
information
in chapter 'Installation'.
Agreed but...
The attached patch tries to give a better consistency in the location
of these useful informations.
... c71979f just did the opposite move, so no. :-)
Even if I find this patch appropriate ;-), my personnal preference
would
be to delete HACKING, and move all its informations in the chapter
'Contributing' of the Holy Bible (with appropriate refinement of
course!) and refer to it in README. Opinions about this?
Yeah, probably. I’m not completely sure about moving things like patch
submission and coding style in there; on one hand, it’s not something
one would expect in a “user manual”, but on the other hand, it’s nice
to
have everything consistently maintained in one place.
Another option would be to have a second .texi document for these
things
(like Findutils, which has a ‘findutils-maint’ document.)
What do people think?
