guile-lib 0.2.2 released

guile-lib 0.2.2 released

[Andy Wingo]

I am pleased to announce that Guile-Lib 0.2.2 has been released. It
may be obtained at:

  http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/guile-lib/guile-lib-0.2.2.tar.gz

What is Guile-Lib
-----------------

Guile-Lib is intended as an accumulation place for pure-scheme Guile
modules, allowing for people to cooperate integrating their generic
Guile modules into a coherent library. Think "a down-scaled,
limited-scope CPAN for Guile".

What's new
----------

 * Install (texinfo nodal-tree) for Guile 2.0.

 * MD5 bugfixes.

 * Better errors in Apicheck.

Thanks to Daniel Hartwig.

Regards,

Andy

I've updated the version on guildhall accordingly.

'guild update' to fetch the latest available.scm, and
'guild install guile-lib' to install, or
'guild upgrade' to upgrade an existing one

I've attached the pkg-list.scm file I used for it. It's a small
modification of the one I posted previously.

Two notes: This only installs the packages that do not come with Guile
2. After the change to make ... a special marker on the path, this is no
longer necessary, and should probably be changed to simplify the file.

Also, it does not build documentation & install for guile-lib, this will
be one of the things I want to address this year with guildhall, along
with some known interface bugs, the srfi package issues, and support for
C etc. A full post will be made later in the week.(promise :)

Is guile-lib interested in receiving new code?

Dunno!  I'm not sure.  Now that we have the guildhall starting up, I
would be inclined to say "no".  Better a decentralized repo than a
poorly maintained centralized repo.

Do you think guile-lib should accept new code?

For small modules, I think guile-lib may still service a niche.  Some
downstreams tend to favour having very small language extensions
packaged together (e.g. Debian).  It is certainly more convenient to
declare an apt dependency on guile-lib, rather than introduce a new
package for every 20 line module.

Perhaps it can continue as a kind of collabatively maintained library
for flyby authors to deposit their useful-but-small modules.
