No, 3.4.15 isn't the latest. 3.5.9 is the latest stable, but I couldn't get
it to compile (at the very least lua-lgi is missing, I don't know if other
things are too). I figured it was better to have something rather than
nothing. I don't need more than 3.4.15, but not having awesome at all
stopped me from using GuixSD for a while.

Apparently lua-lgi only became a dependency for the 3.5.x releases. If you
have a working package definition for it then I'm willing to try to get it
working with awesome. (I don't know anything about packaging lua libraries,
so I gave up on lua-lgi when it didn't work immediately.)

I'll give this a go.
