Guile 1.6 was released sometime ago, but today new stable version still does not have Debian package (not even in unstable branch of Debian). Read the message: people do not care about using Guile (otherwise there would be demand for Debian package immediately after Guile release) and Guile developers do not care about potential users (otherwise they would offer such package along with the release). While I was browsing list of Debian packages, I noticed many packages of development beta versions (sometimes even checkouts from CVS). Though there was not package for libguile1.7. I do not understand this "message" Guile developers want to send to potential Guile users :-(please do not use Guile?) I think that pushing latest version of Guile (and language bindings for Guile) to popular Linux distribution would be very useful (though it is not "real programming").
