Actually it always shows the future version number, so it cannot really be relied on. > I installed the GNU System from: > > ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/guix/gnu-usb-install-0.7.i686.xz Be aware that version X or Guix cannot contains a package of Guix version X. So Guix 0.7 actually comes with a pre-0.7 snapshot. This should be visible in the directory name in: readlink $(type -P guix) To get a newer Guix, it should be enough to run ‘guix pull’. That should give you the ‘--show’ options and lots of other bleeding-edge things. ;-) Ludo’.
