charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable () "Dr. Arne Babenhauserheide" () Tue, 09 Mar 2021 08:14:07 +0100 How about taking this at literal value and creating an ugg8-repository: Unofficial GNU Guile 1.8? That carries with it the connotations of keeping to plain, strong values without fundamental changes, and picking up from the 8, so it isn=E2=80=99t limited to the minor number behind 1.8.x (with x > 8). Please see: . I think sooner or later the Official Guile maintainers will come around to see that such a repo (whether on Savannah or Gitlab or ...) represents a good incubation ground for future hackers, where the old curmudgeons (i.e., Yours Truly) can mix w/ the new blood and in the process hone their chops to be official maintainers in their own right. If, OTOH, this never happens, well, let that be a lesson for the idealists and their efforts at pulling down The Wall. :-D Since HUGE hopes for re-merge Some Day, i will manage it wearing my GNU maintainer hat, w/ additional TTN-specific requirements: =2D Use TTN-style commit log entries (see, e.g., GNU RCS). (However, no need to actually maintain ChangeLog files.) =2D "Don't break userland." =2D Focus on documentation / bug fixes / implementation quality. Who knows, maybe Good Things can be forward- and backward- and sideways-ported to/from HUGE in the years to come. May all of Guile-dom benefit from the participation of HUGE hackers! In order to not corrupt the precious bittily fluids of the HUGE repo itself (which, as said earlier, is hoped to be a candidate for re-merge Some Day by more enlightened Guile maintainers), i'll probably create another repo "HUGE-META" which will have HUGE as a submodule, where non-GNU-ish stuff can happen. Like everything, depends on interest and available energy, i suppose. (Or maybe someone else can do that.) Lastly, i get the vibe that Source Hut is all the rage, but my Day Job doesn't have health insurance, so i'm scrimping by on the gratis substrates for now.
