Message #5 received at submit <at> debbugs.gnu.org (full text, mbox):
`guix refresh` always fetches the newest version of packages. This might
not be desired in all cases. E.g. one might want to keep some still
supported "major" upstream-version and not yet update to the next
"major" version.
Ludo suggested to add a property in packages that would instruct
updaters to restrict the version search space to a given regexp.
Rational: Example: KDE Plasma 5 has 5.12 as long-term-support (LTS)
version, while 5.14 has already being released. Do easy maintenance of
dependent packages, sticking to 5.12.x micht be desired.

Can we simply patch the KDE importer to stick with 5.12 for now?

Not a good solution IMHO. For now I can also use "guix download"as a
work-around This is not comfortable, but avoids having a forgotten
"feature" in the code.

I'm not convinced that adding a property to some 80 packages is better
than patching the importer. To me this problem seems very
importer-specific (knowing what releases are considered LTS).
As a middle ground, perhaps we could add a "--select" argument to guix
import, e.g: "--select=REGEX Only consider versions matching REGEX".

I disagree this is imported specific. Imagine we would like to provide
different still supported versions of e.g. Python (3,.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7)
or openssl (1.0 and 1.1).

This would improve the current situation :-)

It's now possible to refresh to a specific version with the '=' syntax,
as documented in 'info "(guix)Invoking guix refresh"':
E.g.:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
guix refresh qtbase <at> 5=5.15.10 -> qtbase would be upgraded from 5.15.8 to 5.15.10
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Closing!
