Hi,
on my effort to solve the problems when updating to guix 0.14.0, I
stepped over this simple question:
Is the installed guix the current one, resp. the current one my guix
knows of? Is there anyway to find out whether 20170924.19 or
0.13.0-6.a9468b4 is newer?
guix installed:
# guix --version
guix (GNU Guix) 20170924.19
guix knows to my guix:
# guix package -A guix
guix 0.13.0-6.a9468b4
From the usability point of view, this information needs to be ovbiously
available. Users should easily be able to to determine which version is
the newer one.
Since I do not know how these different version numbers are generated, I
can't make any suggestions, though. Sorry.
