Is guile-dbi still mainaining?

Is guile-dbi still mainaining?

[Nala Ginrut]

Hi Boriani & Vepstas !
I'm dealing with a web-framework and using guile-dbi & guile-dbd, which
are nice thing to handle the databases. ;-)
I found there're something obsoleted in the current code, when I tried
to format a patch I've noticed the bug-report&patches haven't been
responded since 2010. 
So I think it's better to ping you here. 

I plan to fork it on github and package them for guildhall.
If it's OK for you, please let me know. ;-)

Thanks!

As an aside, there is a guile library specifically for postgresql
that is currently maintained.  I think it had a release last year.
Guile-pg.

Nice to know that ;-)
@ttn: would you like to post a package to guildhall? ;-)

Not really.  I don't want to invest effort into something i won't be
able to use for the forseeable future, but that will anyway bring its
own set of maintenance demands.  On the other hand, if someone sends me
patches to make the distribution more guildhall-friendly (w/o breaking
things for non-guildhall users), i would be happy to install them.

BTW, i was under the impression that guildhall packages are Scheme only.
If that's the case, Guile-PG, which contains C glue to wrap/expose the
PostgreSQL libpq, among the other (Scheme) modules, is necessarily
disqualified.

OK, I'll see what I can do.

Ah~seems it's a nice feature request for guildhall. ;-)
