I do not want to bother more but this paragraph suggests an other
direction. :-)
The front page <https://guix.gnu.org/> contains the explicit version
number with the button «Download v1.3.0». Why not, just remove this
version label and just have the button «Download»?
This button «Download» leads to «https://guix.gnu.org/en/download/».
Here, we could do the same as we do for the package guix, for instance
use the version label 1.3.0-8.abc123 for some images.
However, it means that we need to update <https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guix/>
each time the recommended standard installer or other receives important
fixes. It does not happen that much often. :-)
Well, I mean being able to update independently some images of «GNU Guix
binary» and «GNU Guix System» without going to the big dance of a
complete release.
Obviously, we could have more frequent releases; which would fix most of
the issue. :-) But, we do not have. Somehow being able to update the
standard downloadable installer without creating a new release appears
to me a good solution.
In addition to Ludo, who has the power to upload (and sign) the images
to <https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guix/>?
Cheers,
simon
