Humm! I see you have started work here and are pushing to the main release branch. While I wish you well & much joy in the 1.8 hacking endeavor I don't think a new 1.8 release is in the plans for the GNU Guile project. Currently the branch_release-1-8 git branch is for hotfixes leading up to a planned release, and after discussing with Ludovic, we as maintainers do not currently plan a release and must therefore kindly request that we leave these branches to rest in peace :) Of course, I understand you are interested in 1.8 development and that's great -- just that I don't think we want it to be an official GNU Guile endeavor. But if there are users interested in such a release, more power to them; perhaps there is room for an unofficial Guile development branch. Just that again -- and I really hate to be negative here -- I don't think it's something that should happen in the context of the GNU Guile project, or in its repository. The 1.8 development branch is certainly not open right now in the main repository. Kind regards, & happy hacking, Andy
