How about the message: "please do not use (and link applications against) development versions of guile". And wrt to packaging 1.6, I'm going as fast as my time and the complexity allows. Last weekend was spent working on emacs21, which has more important and longer-standing issues. That work is just about finished. Last night I spent working with mvo on the ltdl issue, arguably one that affects *every* platform, and one we may have fixed for 1.6.1. The 1.6. packages will be released soon, the debian/* files will be in CVS (after I finish re-writing them to avoid copyright issues), and I doubt the few week delay is likely to hurt anything. -- Rob Browning rlb @defaultvalue.org, @linuxdevel.com, and @debian.org Previously @cs.utexas.edu GPG=1C58 8B2C FB5E 3F64 EA5C 64AE 78FE E5FE F0CB A0AD _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
