The argument against would be that it isn't as specific and would prevent you from having two minor revisions of guile installed in the same place at the same time, but you can't do that anyway since their library, binary, etc. names would collide. The argument in favor is that it means that any other guile "add-on" packages that are guile version sensitive can place a symlink (or a copy) of their .scm dir in share/guile/X.Y/ without having to worry about the directory being yanked out from under them when the guile package goes from 1.6.1 to 1.6.2. -- Rob Browning rlb @defaultvalue.org, @linuxdevel.com, and @debian.org Previously @cs.utexas.edu _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
