The fact that they include "-r2704" in their tarball name suggests that they might release a newer version called "2.82-r2705", and I want Guix to be able to answer the question "which version is newer?". If 2.82-r2705 fixes a problem, I want to be able to see if the version I have installed still has that problem. Does that make sense? Regards, Mark
