From 5b97804e8714cfaeabf12b7c0e8530737907965f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Leo Famulari Date: Sun, 4 Apr 2021 13:28:46 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] doc: Remind developers to build Guix. The previous instructions were correct, but we got too many bug reports with a root cause of "did not build Guix yet".
