Outdated installation video

Hi guix!

This email is motivated by https://social.tchncs.de/@mray/103492792270770063who complained that the instructions didn't work (not in a very nice way :/).

In fact, the video is slightly outdated, showing a different command for importing the gpg key.

There was also a confusion as the gpg fingerprint appears on a separate paragraph, as if it were part of the output, leading to a failure due to the lack of providing a fingerprint. This points to an issue in the video generation script.

Anyway, this long fingerprint is not necessary anymore, since the script now suggests to import from savannah. My patch from yesterday also proposes to add an option that is easier to type to let the script do it. We should update the video accordingly.

Thanks :)

This is now fixed.

There are a bunch of places in the session scripts where lines are

arbitrarily broken. I’ve fixed a couple of them.

I also elided all hashes, replaced “guix package --install” with “guix

install”, replaced the installer script URL with the shorter

https://guix.gnu.org/install.shand replaced all instances of

“guix.info” with “guix.gnu.org”.

There are still a few problems with these CLI sessions. One of the

biggest problems in my opinion is the dots that are supposed to indicate

time passing. That’s distorting the real output and it just looks

noisy.

Anyway, this problem is now fixed. Let’s remember to polish these

videos some more.
