There's this question
https://octodon.social/@alienghic/99197743305578001
She's a biologist and I 'd like to help her
But I don't know the answer to her question
Apart from suggesting here to come on this mailing list, what could I reply
to her ?

I was probably mistaken, she's not a biologist
But I'd still like to help her

Using
guix --version
you can get the commit ID in the Guix repository that corresponds to
your installation (i.e. the version you got with your last `guix pull`).
In general that commit ID does not correspond to any release, so there
is no point in looking for something release number like 0.14.0.
If you have a local copy of the Guix repository, you can look up the
commit ID and find a corresponding date (plus tons of more information).
Example (my current installation):
$ guix --version
guix (GNU Guix) 574b1d0262c0e9af8aa7bbfe4998a498f2ba23da
Copyright (C) 2017 the Guix authors

commit 574b1d0262c0e9af8aa7bbfe4998a498f2ba23da
Author: Tobias Geerinckx-Rice <me@tobias.gr>
Date: Fri Dec 15 16:44:00 2017 +0100
gnu: python-pyicu: Set python2-variant.
This follows up on commit d65854bdda4ad5464fcd8fe6289eedc13ea82ba1,
which
did not fix test failures for dependents using package-with-python2.
* gnu/packages/python.scm (python-pyicu)[properties]: Set
python2-variant.
So my last "guix pull" happened on Dec 15 or shortly thereafter.
Konrad.

> In #guix is there an easy way to tell what version your system is based on? I tried to guix pull from snapshots/guix-0.14.0.tar.gz and was told to try 0.13. It'd be nice to know how old this system was, so I didn't skip too many updates.
Isn't this exactly what the 'guix pull' age-of-checkout (or date-stamp) message
helps with?
I can't provide much help because I build from a git ahead of guix master, so I
really know what commit my guix was build from.
Technically the rolling release model, and guix pull (pulling 'master') should
avoid the necessity to point to a specific tarball. I can't suggest more with the
information provided.
