Getting no messages

[Dirk Herrmann]

Hi folks,

for some reason I don't receive any mail from the guile lists any more.
Could someone please check what the problem is?  Thanks a lot.

Best regards, 
Dirk

Hmm, I got this one, but hadn't gotten any for a while before that, so
maybe everyone's actually just that quiet right now.

(...tooooo quiet...)

In other news 1.6.1 should be ready soon -- Marius has backported the
guile-ltdl stuff and updated us against the new upstream 1.4.3
ltdl.  I've got to get Michael's emacs patch in there and check a
couple of other things.  After that we should be ready to go.

Thanks for your reply.  I have checked with the mailing list archives on
the guile wep pages and I am sure that I have not received some of the
recent mails.

I had added two points to the 1.6.1 TODO - list.  However, I am not sure
that I have followed the process correctly.  And, it is not essential that
these points actually get fixed for 1.6.1., but I wanted them to be
remembered somewhere.

Best regards,

"got to" - why?  Isn't it worth releasing 1.6.1 sooner with just the
fixes (especially ltdl) available so far?

Further thought: for new features like Mikael's emacs interface,
shouldn't we rather put those only into head CVS (i.e. 1.7.x)?

Personally I find parallel-branch development (which I do for
applicable doc fixes and enhancements) to be an additional burden that
I would prefer not to have.  I think it's easier all round if we
restrict 1.6.x to bug fixes (broadly speaking), only put new stuff
into 1.7.x, and look forward to 1.8 sooner rather than later.

The list server is running a Python program -- you probably didn't
indent your mail correctly ;-)

I only got a handfull of mails from the mailing list during the
last few days and suspect that something went wrong. Could this be
caused by the recent outage of mail.gnu.org?

Because it was a trivial effort that I could easily do while fixing up
the versioning, NEWS, README, etc. for the release, because I told
Mikael I would, and because I talked with Marius about it on IRC
yesterday and he thought we should...

In any case, it's been done.

It's only a bugfix.  The emacs interface used to work, but it didn't
in 1.6.0.

Yes, definitely.

I totally agree about getting 1.8 out ASAP, but I consider these fixes
bug-fixes:

  - srfi headers were ommitted in 1.6.0.

  - emacs stuff was broken.

  - ltdl was broken.

I'd be perfectly happy if the only 1.6.X releases after 1.6.1 are doc
updates, and debian/* commits.  I may even leave the debian/* out and
save that for 1.8...

Well I didn't think the necessary elisp code was in 1.4, but I haven't
checked.
