Hi Guixers,

which command (CLI) should I use to get the version of Guix, that is 
installed on my system.
I checked the manual but didn't find anything. May be I overread it.

e.g.: guix@1.3.0-32.682639c

Guix describe gives me:

gfp@Tuxedo ~$ guix describe
Generation 47	28. Oktober 2022 18:42:17	(aktuell)
   guix 8fed831
     Repository-URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git
     Branch: master
     Commit: 8fed831e2affd33b6a4e092a190128f991905342

but it does not give me:

guix@1.3.0-32.682639c

I would like to have the numbers... guix 1.3.0-32

That's not the version of Guix you have installed; that's the version of the
``guix'' package, which follows its own versioning scheme and is periodically
updated to the latest commit (and you shouldn't install it).

Right.  That's what ‘guix --version’ should provide, but it's 
currently broken:

  λ guix --version
  guix (GNU Guix) 0

You can plug the commit given by ‘guix describe’ (or ‘guix system 
describe’, which can differ!) into a local Guix git checkout as a 
horrible work-around:

  λ guix describe
    […]
    guix 39e00f7
      […]
    commit: 39e00f7f6a0b80e95cf16970d201c786684e076a
  λ git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git
  λ cd guix
  λ git describe 39e00f7f6a0b80e95cf16970d201c786684e076a
  v1.3.0-26871-g39e00f7f6a0 (your ‘32’ was just a bit optimistic 
  :-)

I'm so sorry, but it technically does ‘work’…

Kind regards,

Sincere thanks to paren, T G-R

I came to this idea because when I check:

  guix pull --news --details

then it shows me the new and updated packages.

And today there was:

guix 1.3.0-32.682639c

besides

  icedove-wayland@102.4.1,icedove@102.4.1, keepassxc@2.7.3, 
komikku@1.2.0, linux-libre-bpf@5.19.17 etc.

When icedove@102.4.1 shows the new version, which can be installed,
so I guessed that the new guix version can also be shown through a command.

This is Guix as a Guile library and not Guix as package manager.  IMHO,
you should read,

  guile-libguix 1.3.0-32.682639c

which is somehow independent from ’guix’ you are using.

This does not exist.  The point is that the package named ’guix’ is only
relevant for those who use Guix as a Guile library.  Otherwise, the
version of the current Guix you are using is provided by “guix describe”
or “guix --version” (when it is not broken ;-)) and this version is not
related with the version of the package named ’guix’.


Cheers,
simon
