The "1.4" should also be replaced with (version-major+minor version), so
that this part of the string doesn't have to be manually fixed when the
version changes to 1.5.x or higher.  Using the 'name' variable is less
important, since that's unlikely to change.

Yes.  So it should be like this:

              (uri (string-append "mirror://gnome/sources/" name "/"
                                  (version-major+minor version) "/"
                                  name "-" version ".tar.bz2"))

      Thanks!
