[bug#60368] [PATCH 0/2] Allow 'guix refresh' to downgrade packages when asked to

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hi Hartmut,

I figured changes from <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/57460> were not
applicable in some cases because of things that guard against
downgrade.

The following patches fix the use case where the user is explicitly
asking for a downgrade, as in:

  guix refresh guile@3.0=2.2.7
  guix refresh -u guile=3.0.0

Previously these wouldn’t do anything.

WDYT?

Ludo’.

Ludovic Courtès (2):
  refresh: Honor user-provided target version and report downgrades.
  upstream: Allow downgrades.
