In the info manual, the Guix version is rendered as 0.0-git. For
example, in "(guix) The Store", see "The ability to connect to remote
build daemons is considered experimental as of 0.0-git". I am running
the Guix standalone system. Any idea what's going wrong?

Thanks,
Arun

Nothing!  :-)

The =E2=80=9C0.0-git=E2=80=9D string comes from (guix self).  As noted ther=
e, we can=E2=80=99t
really afford to change the version string at each commit, or we=E2=80=99d =
have
to rebuild the manual at each commit.

We could perhaps choose a more meaningful version string, though, maybe
by looking at the closest tag or something.

Thoughts?

Ludo=E2=80=99.
