Hi Guix!

I tried using the latest tarball to install guix, by modifying the
current script. To do that, I downloaded the latest installation script
from savannah and modified it a bit:

In guix_get_bin, I removed the tar.xz extension and the download of the
signature. I also commented out the verification with gpg.

In main, I commented out the call to guix_get_bin_list and replace the
call to guix_get_bin with

guix_get_bin "https://ci.guix.gnu.org/download/" "114" "$tmp_path"

(114 being obtained by looking at the latest build of the tarball:
https://ci.guix.gnu.org/jobset/tarball).

After these changes, I was able to run:

sudo -i $HOME/guix-install.sh

which initially asked me to get the key, then managed to download the
tarball, but failed like so:

https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/
Press return to continue...

Indeed, the tarball only has the following in var/guix:

/var/guix/
/var/guix/db/
/var/guix/db/db.sqlite
/var/guix/gcroots/
/var/guix/gcroots/profiles
/var/guix/profiles/

/var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/
/var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/guix-profile
/var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/guix-profile-1-link


whereas the release (1.2.0) tarball contains:

/var/guix/
/var/guix/db/
/var/guix/db/db.sqlite
/var/guix/gcroots/
/var/guix/gcroots/profiles
/var/guix/profiles/
/var/guix/profiles/per-user/
/var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/
/var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/current-guix
/var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/current-guix-1-link

Note guix-profile <> current-guix

The manual still suggests to create a symlink to
/var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/current-guix and source the profile
from it.
