1.6.8 release candidate 1 available for testing.

1.6.8 release candidate 1 available for testing.

[Rob Browning]

Even though 1.8 is now available, we would like to release 1.6.8 for
those who are still using 1.6 and who may benefit from the accumulated
fixes.

For now the release candidate is available here:

  http://people.debian.org/~rlb/tmp/guile-1.6.8-rc1.tar.gz

Please test.

In particular, we are interested in any significant regressions with
respect to 1.6.7.  If none are found, we should be ready to release
1.6.8.

Note that rc1 includes the new SLIB related code; see NEWS.  (SLIB
fixes for 1.8 are still pending.)

Thanks

I only ran `make check' and it succeeds on `powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu'.

Thanks,
Ludovic.

You could stick those in whenever you're ready.  I dropped the
slib.test because ice-9 slib at the moment bombs with the current
slib.

OK, sounds good.  I'm still in discussions with Aubrey Jaffer.  It
looks like the changes in SLIB behavior for 1.8 may be substantial,
but I'll know more later.  We may end up just requiring a new enough
(perhaps even pending) version of SLIB.

How did you drop the test?  A run of "make check" still fails here.

I'm assuming that you might have just removed slib.test from SCM_TESTS
in Makefile.am, but I'm not sure that guile-test (currently) pays any
attention to its arguments, though arguably, perhaps it should.  It
looks like guile-test may just scan for *.test.

Also, whatever we do, we might still want slib.test in SCM_TESTS (or
at least EXTRA_DIST) so it'll show up in the distribution.

Yep, which keeps it out of the dist, though it still hurts from the
cvs (I dithered about that then did nothing).  I guess I could have
commented out everything in the file or something instead.

It'd be a good thing if it did.

Yep, annoying if you're putting together something preliminary in that
dir.
