Hi!

Yeah, great initiative!

I wonder if we could avoid adding code to (guix self).  For instance,
we could have (guix self) leave =E2=80=98VERSION=E2=80=99 undefined and in =
the manual
we=E2=80=99d have those @inlineifset{VERSION, version @value{VERSION}, revi=
sion
from @command{guix pull}}.

How does that sound?

Ludo=E2=80=99.

Hi all,

To avoid expensive rebuilds, (guix self) explicitly substitutes=20
the less than satisfying "0.0-git" as version number for the=20
Texinfo manual.

In some cases, that's merely ugly and confusing:

> This document describes GNU Guix version 0.0-git, a functional
> package management tool written for the GNU system.

or

> If you=E2=80=99re running Debian or a derivative such as Ubuntu, you can
> instead install the package (it might be a version older than
> 0.0-git but you can update it afterwards by running =E2=80=98guix=20
> pull=E2=80=99):

But in most cases it's worse:

> 1. Download the binary tarball from
> =E2=80=98https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-binary-0.0-git.x86_64-linux.ta=
r.xz=E2=80=99,

eek

> $ wget=20
> https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-binary-0.0-git.x86_64-linux.tar.xz.sig
> $ gpg --verify guix-binary-0.0-git.x86_64-linux.tar.xz.sig

boo

> An ISO-9660 installation image that can be written to a USB=20
> stick
> or burnt to a DVD can be downloaded from
> =E2=80=98https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-system-install-0.0-git.x86_64-=
linux.iso=E2=80=99

nein

> make sure you checked the GPG signature of =E2=80=98guix-0.0-git.tar.gz=
=E2=80=99

Imagine coming to this with a fresh mind & without our knowledge=20
that this is =E2=80=98obviously wrong=E2=80=99.  After all: this is the off=
icial=20
upstream updater, not some random git snapshot!

(Only later will you find out the truth that it is both, but=20
you'll no longer care.)

Anyway.  So hesitant am I to even READ future (gnu packages=20
package-management) versions from older Guixen that I've committed=20
the crime of regex, twice.  Punish me by sharing your thoughts.

Kind regards,

T G-R
