I see from guix-devel boost-1.60 is now included.

I
guix package -i boost,
but I get 1.58
I do a
guix pull;guix package -i boost
and still don't get 1.60

What am I doing wrong?

Actually Boost 1.60 has not yet been included in the master branch, so 
pulling will not grab it. If you wish to use it then you will either 
need to apply the patches sent to the mailing list yourself, or wait the 
patches have been integrated into master.

Thanks,
ben

Ok thanks for your replys, Ben and Eric.
I'm just trying to figure out how the systems of guix and hydra work..
When do changes get applied to 'master'?

I did guix refresh
and I see 200 packages can be updated. Can that be automated? It's kind of
annoying to get not up to date packages, especially to obsessive/compulsive
geeks.

What you saw on the mailing list was a work-in-progress patch under
review. When the patch is approved and applied to the master branch of
the Guix git repo [0], you can see it in the log. 

At that time, you can update your package definitions like this...
$ guix pull

Then, to update all the packages in your profile, do
$ guix package --upgrade

To upgrade only package 'foo', do
$ guix package --upgrade foo

If you are familiar with Debian, Ubuntu, or Linux Mint:
apt-get update  == guix pull
apt-get upgrade == guix package --upgrade

`guix refresh` doesn't need to be used here. Use `guix package` for
installing, upgrading, and removing software.

There is also a guix-commits mailing list that emails you the git log.

And ‘guix pull’ to update the package definitions available at your
site (similar to ‘apt-get update’.)

‘guix refresh’ is a helper for Guix developers, as mentioned in the
manual (info "(guix) Invoking guix refresh").

But you are invited to become a Guix developer, Carl, by submitting patches
to this mailing list!
