Once you run 'guix pull' you are on the latest commit of Guix. The manual is then <https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Building-from-Git.html>. Note the "devel" which you will also get to by following the "GNU Guix Manual (latest)" link from the Help menu on the project webpage. Yes, this is confusing, and yes it is known, but unfortunately not made clear on the documentation site. Sorry about that! I'll go ahead and close this in favor of other instances of this problem and I think some possible patches that we need to revive (but I don't have the number off the top of my head). John
