I can successfully build inetutils 2.0 from > the core-updates branch even with IPv6 disabled. > > What is the purpose of the core-updates branch? The =E2=80=98core-updates=E2=80=99 branch contains updates to core packages= and core Guix functionality that entails a rebuild of all the packages. In that branch we put package upgrades that would otherwise lead to too many rebuilds (info "(guix) Submitting Patches"). > If inetutils follows semantic version numbering then that would suggest > a breaking change to the inetutils API moving from 1.9.4 to 2.0. Can > the Guix master branch provide inetutils 2.0 instead of 1.9.4? No: =E2=80=98guix refresh -l inetutils=E2=80=99 shows that almost 2,000 pac= kages depend on inetutils. That said, if needed, =E2=80=98master=E2=80=99 could provide 2.0 in additio= n to 1.9, as is done for GDB for instance. > How can I use a package definition from core-updates with guix build or > in a system configuration if it is not available on Guix's master > branch? You can do better :-), you can install 2.0 from master like so: guix install inetutils --with-latest=3Dinetutils > What are the reasons I might not want to use a package from the > core-updates branch? =E2=80=98core-updates=E2=80=99 is where we put core changes as I wrote, inc= luding experimental changes. That branch also does not receive security updates in a timely fashion. So it=E2=80=99s really a branch for developers working on core improvements. HTH! Ludo=E2=80=99.
