All these files have an associated ‘.sig’, an OpenPGP signature that you
can verify as explained at
<https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Binary-Installation.html> [0].

You can help by:

  1. Testing the binary tarball on the distro of your choice.  You can
     download <https://guix.gnu.org/install.sh> and uncomment the
     ‘GNU_URL’ variable assignment that refers to alpha.gnu.org.  It
     should pick up 1.4.0rc2 automatically.

  2. Testing the graphical installer of Guix System (the ISO images).

  3. Testing the VM image, along the lines of
     <https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Running-Guix-in-a-VM.html>.

Please report success to guix-devel@gnu.org, and report bugs and
annoyances to bug-guix@gnu.org.

If not serious problems are reported, we may release 1.4.0 on Dec. 19th.

Thanks in advance!
