Hello Guix maintainers,

The OP complains that the HTML version of the Gash manual
is not at the URL linked to in section 20.1 of the Guix
manual [1], and I couldn't find it anywhere either. Could
you kindly generate it from texinfo [2], and add it to the
Guix website if that's where it is supposed to be?
Many thanks!

Best regards,
Thérèse

It’s supposed to be “elsewhere”; I guess ‘makeinfo’ just generates the
default URL in this case.

We’ll see if we can host it somewhere and adjust ‘htmlxref.cnf’
accordingly.

Thanks,
