With the number of packages available using Guix (and it seems to keep
increasing) keeping up on the latest upstream versions manually is
gonna be a pain. :) Shouldn't the checking be automated in some way?
One idea might be to create a bug in the GNU Bug Tracker when a new
upstream release is detected.

Another way might be to create a program that checks all the source repos
of all the packages. When a new package source file with a higher version
number gets uploaded, guix automatically builds the package and uploads it.

There is already "guix refresh", but so far it works only for gnu packages;
with the parameter "-u", it even updates the version and hash, so if the
source uri is written using "string-append" and "version", it can update
package recipes automatically.
It would be interesting to generalise this to arbitrary packages. Maybe
an idea for the hackathon?
