This is the repository for the AUCTeX project. The home page is
https://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/
The ELPA package is derived from the upstream version. It has its own
version numbering scheme. For example, the current version on ELPA is
13.0.11. The current upstream version is 12.3.
Every so often the upstream development branch is merged into the ELPA
branch and a new ELPA version is released.
One option for the Guix package would be to bypass ELPA and use the
upstream repository directly. However, the version string would change
from "13.0.11" to something like "12.3-commit", where 'commit'
identifies the git reference of the upstream branch.
This would solve the reproducibility problem. However, a one-off
update resulting in a smaller version number might cause confusion.
Are there views on this point?
Best regards,
Paul.
