   # Obtain the source code
   cd /path/to/source-code

+To try out any scripts in the project, the easiest is just to install it to a guix profile.
 
+Here is an example to install it to the default profile:
 #+BEGIN_SRC bash
-  ./pre-inst-env scripts/${script-name}
+  guix package -f guix.scm
 #+END_SRC
 
-If you'd like to tidy the project again, but retain the ability to test the
-project from the commandline, simply run:
-
-#+BEGIN_SRC bash
-  ./hall clean --skip "scripts/${script-name},pre-inst-env" --execute
-#+END_SRC
+Then when you're done simply roll back. This can also be used when
+testing it against gpg-agent by following what is described in the
+[[file:README.org][README]].
 
 ** Manual Installation
 
 If you do not yet use  Guix, you will have to install this project's
 dependencies manually:
   - autoconf
+  - autoconf-archive
   - automake
   - pkg-config
   - texinfo
-  - guile-hall
 
 Once those dependencies are installed you can run:
 
 #+BEGIN_SRC bash
-  hall dist -x && autoreconf -vif && ./configure && make check
+  autoreconf -vif && ./configure && make check
 #+END_SRC
+
+** Guile Hall
+
+   The core of the gnu build system is generated by guile-hall. There
+   are some modifications done after that so avoid running
+   =hall clean -x= and =hall dist -x= as that will override those
+   changes.
+
+   Right now I haven't figured out a good way of dealing with keeping
+   the version in sync between the different files, which what I
+   mainly used =hall= for.
