Dear,

The bug [1] is about Emacs-Guix and the installed package list
proposed to upgrade.

[1] http://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/22628


To be precise, the wish that Ludo wrote [2] is:

<<
I think we need a different solution for packages that have several
series.  For instance, we could have:

  (define gnupg-2.0
    (package =E2=80=A6
      (properties `((series . "2.0")))))

and that would lead the various UIs to upgrade only to a package whose
version prefix is =E2=80=9C2.0=E2=80=9D.
>>


What is the status of such? Does it still make sense?
Personally, I do not feel the need of the series property, what the
others think?


I propose to close this long standing bug. :-)

All the best,
simon
