Is there no tarball? If possiblem we would prefer this.
No tarball. I would recommend that the first 7 characters of the
commit SHA be used as the package version, and this string here could
just be replaced with 'version'.
Maybe make the version (string-append "0-" commit) so we can eventually
increment that zero to make upgrades work, as Andreas notes?
(I think upstream minikanren is frozen anyway.)
Why not use YYYYMMDD.<7-char-sha> so that the version is less arbitrary?
It would still sort for upgrades.
Sounds like another set of conventions to document in the manual ;)
