bug#54711: Bad Documentation Series: 6.1 Specifying Additional Channels

[Marek Paśnikowski]

Thank you for the quick reply.

Those are my conclusions:

1. If I clone someone else's channel, do not bother with the
introduction.

2. If I create my own channel from scratch,
then I have to authorize it with my key.
Thus I know the commit and the key fingerprint.

3. For a local repository, use (url "file://") or (url "/path").

Is any of these wrong?

Regarding point 4.: I meant both /etc/config.scm and
~/src/guix-config/home-configuration.scm .
My understanding is that it should be possible to define private
(user specific) channels.
I could be wrong here.
I do not like the ~/.config/guix/channels.scm file,
because it lives outside of the home configuration.
I would rather have it generated from the home config file.
