Subject: [bug#60368] [PATCH 1/2] refresh: Honor user-provided target version and report downgrades.

From: Ludovic Courtès <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 27 Dec 2022 23:21:09 +0100

Previously, 'guix refresh guile=3.0.0' would print:

  3.0.8 is already the latest version of guile

With this change, it prints:

  guile would be downgraded from 3.0.8 to 3.0.0

This is a followup to 8aeccc6240ec45f0bc7bed655e0c8149ae4253eb.

* guix/scripts/refresh.scm (check-for-package-update): Take an
<update-spec> instead of a <package>.  Report downgrades as such when
UPDATE-SPEC specifies a target version.
(guix-refresh): Adjust caller.
