About guile-gnome-platform
==========================

guile-gnome-platform is a binding between Guile Scheme and the Gnome
stack of libraries.

This release is a bugfix release in the unstable 2.15 series, which aims
to wrap the libraries in the Gnome Developer Platform at version 2.16.
It is unstable, but 2.16.0 will be stable.

In addition to fixing bugs, this release adds support for
multithreading.

  guile-gnome-platform 2.15.91 may be downloaded from:

I'm really glad to see this.

  Note that this release requires the yet-unreleased G-Wrap 1.9.8. Until
  it is available, you may follow the instructions on the developer's
  page[0] to install G-Wrap from its development repository.

But until this is released, I can't even start to think about updating
pkgsrc to use the new guile-gnome-platform.  This is too bad, because
the old version doesn't build anymore (due to gnome header drift, I
think, but I decided not to spend time worrying about it, hoping for
new releases).

So thanks for the work - I don't mean to be super cranky - but for
normal people to be able to use this, releases really have to only
depend on other released packages.

If this is just a timing issue and g-wrap 1.9.8 will be out in a week or
two, then that sounds wonderful.
