Subject: bug#40895: import crate: Relaxed version selection
Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2020 09:31:34 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1660dd38-8279-4fb3-4521-ee58dd131f31@crazy-compilers.com> (raw)

If (manually) importing dependencies for some package requiring "other
^0.2", I would like the importer to fetch the newest version of
other-0.2.x automatically.

As it is now, I need to specify the exact version number, e.g. "guix
import crate other@0.2.4" - and the get the version number I need to go
to crates.io, search the package and search the list of available
versions. The importer can do this much more efficient.

This could be implemented like this:

- If the version giben ("@0.2.4") matches an version available, use this
version.

- Otherwise, if the version giben ("@0.2") is a prefix of some available
version, use the highest/newest of these versions
