In <http://bugs.gnu.org/19219>, we came to the conclusion that we need a
new syntax to denote a specific package version on the command line.
The current syntax is described in the manual (info "(guix) Invoking
guix package"). Basically, ‘guile-1.8’ refers to version 1.8.x of
Guile; however, this syntax has proved to be ambiguous for packages
whose name contains digits.
For the new syntax, the proposals so far are:
1. slash, <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=19219#25>
guile:1.8/doc
xterm-256-color:320
emacs:24.5/out
2. underscore, <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=19219#28>
emacs_24.5:out
3. at, <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=19219#31>
guile@1.8
guile@1.8:doc
What do people think?
My order of preference (highest preference first) is: 3., 1., 2.
Me too.
