The versions seemed a bit out of date, and the last policy I remember is that the latest released versions are always used. Since it's easy to find out what the versions are, it doesn't seem necessary to list them in the file and saves the confusion when the released versions differ from the file versions (is the file correct or did somebody just forget to update it?) _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
