This allows users to specify > things like "qt-4.8.6". Like you write, this commit is the “wrong end”: it’s about selecting the package you’re willing to update. Most entry points in (guix import …) already take a #:version parameter, which allows you to ask for a specific version when running ‘guix import’, as in: guix import pypi itsdangerous@1.1.0 The goal here is to expose that in the <upstream-updater> API and to use it in ‘guix refresh’.
