We are at the point (within the stable branch), where the permitted work items are pretty small, like fixing a bug that has an obvious and simple fix or workaround. So (for the stable branch), Rob needs to approve almost every single commit. In the unstable branch, pretty much everything is possible. what does this have to do w/ "Guile 1.4.2" (see TODO). it looks like you've got that confused w/ something else. next on the plate under that top-level TODO item is to write a proposal given the recent research into libltdl capabilities and the plug-in arch survey, hardly so dangerous a task as to require yanking write privs. maybe you ought to figure out what you're trying to defend here; it isn't stability or progress. what are you afraid of? someone wanting 1.4.x more than 1.6.x? in any case, good news: libltdl has been stable for two years and there are usages of lt_dlsetsearchpath in GNU software that we can consult for guidance. additionally, lt_* supports user loading discipline, so that abstraction level is already there; no need to reinvent anything. mutex support built-in makes things very nice. my opinion of libltdl has gone up dramatically after reading its info pages and doing some mailing list archive digging. we are at best under-utilizing it presently. thi _______________________________________________ Guile-user mailing list Guile-user@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-user
