Hi Arun,

Arun Isaac <arunisaac@systemreboot.net> skribis:

Nothing!  :-)

The “0.0-git” string comes from (guix self).  As noted there, we can’t
really afford to change the version string at each commit, or we’d 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’.
