Hello,
we have the following in gnome.scm:
$ guix package -A libwnck
libwnck 2.30.7 out gnu/packages/gnome.scm:1464:2
libwnck 3.14.0 out gnu/packages/gnome.scm:1435:2
However, the first one is internally assigned to the variable "libwnck-1".
I assume that someone got inspired by another case where the "-1" is actually
a version number. Is it okay if I rename it to "libwnck-2"?
Andreas

efraim@debian-netbook:~$ guix refresh -l libwnck-1
guix refresh: error: libwnck: package not found for version 1
efraim@debian-netbook:~$ guix refresh -l libwnck-2
Building the following package would ensure 1 dependent packages are rebuilt: xfce-4.12.0
efraim@debian-netbook:~$ guix refresh -l libwnck-3
Building the following package would ensure 1 dependent packages are rebuilt: gnome-3.18.3
Looks like a good idea to me. Finding specific non-latest version can be
hard, and having the 2.x version having the same string for packaging as for
searching should help.

Hello,
the name libwnck-1 is right. The library files have this name and the
pkg-config file refers to that. This is because it uses Gtk+ 2.x and
has a different API than libwnck-3. I don't know why they chose this
versioning, but it's their decision.

Well, these are the sonames, which need not be related to the program version.
A package with a given version may ship arbitrary libraries with arbitrary
sonames. For instance, gmp-6.1 and gmp-6.0 ship libgmp.so.10 and
libgmpxx.so.4.
Nevertheless, we still call all variables gmp and gmp-6.0, respectively.
So here we should also use libwnck-2. Notice that the variable name is
something that humans edit, whereas we need not care about sonames that
are handled by some magic.

Ok, just saw that after I read your mail.
