Hi,
while working on refreshing to a specific version (see
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2022-06/msg00222.html) I
discovered that the updaters fall back to another updater. Is this intended?
Concrete example (using refresh to a specific version): Package "xlsxio"
has no version 0.2.30. When trying to refresh to this version, the
github updater comes first and of course fails to get this version. Then
the generic-git updater is triggered and tries to get the version.
IMHO each package should be handled by a single updater.
What do you think?
BTW 1: There are other packages which are handled be several updaters:
If you sum up the percent valued of "guix refresh --list-updaters" you
will get about 140%. Anyhow the generic-git updater contributed with
about 30% to this amount.
BTW 2: Which updater is used for each package is non-deterministic.
