Re: Version from file in a package

[paul]

Hi Reza,

I believe local-file should import (guix utils) and use 
current-source-directory. Something like:

(define %cwd (current-source-directory))

(let ([...]
      (version-file (string-append %cwd "/VERSION"))

  [...]

   (source (local-file (string-append %cwd "/../..") "my-package-checkout"
  
  [...]

The current directory may not be where the VERSION file is.
