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.
