Subject: [PATCH] upstream: Do not update to same version.

List-Id: <debbugs-submit.debbugs.gnu.org>

From: Maxim Cournoyer <[email-masked]>

Previously, 'guix refresh --update' would do actually rewrite the file with
the same version/hash information when the target version was the same as the
current version:

  guix refresh --update idutils=4.6
  idutils.scm: warning: downgrading 'idutils' from 4.6 to 4.6
  [...]
  idutils.scm: idutils: updating from version 4.6 to version 4.6...

This changes handles this case so that it does and prints nothing.

* guix/upstream.scm (package-update): Use `version-compare' to distinguish the
equal versions case.
