bug#19766: [gnu.org #979072] Broken download link in manual
"Quentin Pradet via RT" skribis: > In the System Installation part [0] of the GNU Guix Reference Manual, > the download link [1] is broken.

I fixed it and the code and will update the web page with the next release. Thanks! Ludo’.

Repeating the same command worked properly. I don’t see how the binary garbage could reach the stdout of ‘guix substitute-binary’. This happens when hydra.gnu.org is overloaded as you suggest, so perhaps we have a connection closed unexpected or something like that, but still. Since this is the multithreaded ‘substitute-binary’, could there be something fishy going on in wrt. threads? Ludo’.

Yes, the $out/bin of windowmaker is not in $PATH, and same for sawfish.
Instead of wrapping every executable of session-type, we can:
#1: Add the package to system profile ('packages').
It's not clear to me how to do it now, until we have something
like the NixOS's module system.
#2: Make SLiM use '/run/current-system/profile/share/xsessions' as
session_dir.
So simply add a package providing xsession file to 'packages' should
make it available to SLiM. And all DE and many window-managers provide
xsession files already (eg: openbox, sawfish, xfce), we can patch
the rest (eg: WindowMaker) to install one.
I would like to go #2, WDYT?
