Hello!

ludo <at> gnu.org (Ludovic Courtès) skribis:

I’m happy to report that this bug is finally fixed, in commit
b006ba50384f9cb517fa881299160adba0aaca9e.  :-)

It should take effect immediately: “guix pull && guix --version” should
display a version string other than “0.10.0” or similar.

Eventually the version string will include the Git commit id, à la “git
describe”.

Subject: guix needs to be installed for guix pull
Date: Fri, 05 Dec 2014 17:47:17 +0100

package: guix
version: 0.9

`guix pull' requires to have guix among installed packages (`guix
package -i guix'), but this fact is not documented in manual and not
mentioned by `guix pull --help' message.

It is valid at least in my case - running Guix on top of Gentoo
distribution.
