This is a "wishlist" bug.

The website's package list should have per-package anchor links for
"advertising" Guix packages.

These are the ways I have found to link to Guix packages from around the
internet. None of them are really the "right" thing.

0) A link to the code
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/base.scm#n54

1) A link to the hydra page (you have to choose an architecture)
http://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/master/hello-2.10.x86_64-linux

2) Link to some description of the git commmit (savannah or
guix-commits):
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=e3ce5d709f

3) The guix-devel announcement...
I'm not going to dig this one up.

Done in commit 497145e of guix-artwork.git.  I’ve regenerated
<https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/packages/> so you can see the result.

For a given package ‘foo’, there’s always an anchor ‘#foo’ pointing to
the latest version of ‘foo’.  When there are other versions available,
their anchor is the full-length thing, like ‘#guile-1.8.8’.

I think that should be good enough in practice.

Feedback welcome!

Ludo’.

That's just what I was thinking — thank you!
