2016-11-24doc: Symlink daemon start-up files....This patch ensures that always the current profile's daemon will be used. The .service file contains the path to the guix-daemon within the store. Thus when copying the file, it will point to the very version of guix-daemon used at the time of copying – even after system upgrade or when this version has been garbage collected from the store. * doc/guix.texi (Binary Installation): Change example code for installing the systemd and Upstart files to use symbolic links instead of copying the files.
