Do we have a guile-1.8 branch?

Do we have a guile-1.8 branch?

[Noah Lavine]

Hello,

I was just trying to build guile 1.8 (as part of a project to track
down missing documentation, which I will email about), and I found a
bug. As it happens, Andy Wingo fixed that bug in this email from 2010:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-devel/2010-03/msg00082.html

However, I still saw it. The possibilities I see are that either the
change wasn't pushed, or it was pushed but it didn't make it to the
branch_release_1_8 git branch, which is what I built. I built that
because it seemed like the only branch associated with 1.8. But do we
actually have a branch for fixes to guile 1.8? If so, what is it?

And if not, would we like one?

Thanks,
Noah

It would be great to have one.

Yeah, there is one:  http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=guile.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/branch_release-1-8

I suspect that Andy merely forgot to check that in.

Yes, I was just wondering if that was the right place to send Guile
1.8 bugfixes. I went ahead and committed two new fixes to that branch.
They both fix build errors on my system.

Unfortunately, I also made a new branch in our repository called
'release-1.8' because of a git error. It is an exact copy of that
branch. I want to remove the tag from the Savannah repository, because
it is useless and potentially very confusing. Is that the right thing
to do here? If so, is there a way to do it?

Thanks,
Noah

Yes, please remove the ‘release-1.8’ branch.

Something like ‘git push origin :release-1.8’ should work (search for
“delete” in git-push(1).)

Thanks,

Oh, I never knew how to do that. It's done now.

Thanks,

Cool.  It's pretty strange, sometimes if I want to rebase a WIP branch
and push a new one, I have to first delete the old one, then push the
new one, instead of sending a forced update (i.e. instead of git push
origin +wip-foo).

Strange things :)

Cheers,

Andy
