With the release of guile-3.0.1 that builds fine on Cygwin,
I am thinking to copy the debian layout
https://packages.debian.org/sid/guile-3.0
so to obsoletes the "guile" package and have instead
guile1.8 libguile17 libguile1.8-devel
guile2.0 libguile2.0_22 libguile2.0-devel
guile2.2 libguile2.2_1 libguile2.2-devel
guile3.0 libguile3.0_1 libguile3.0-devel
this should make the life more easy during release and
during future prunig of any older version not used anymore
Of course this will cause that all programs will be versioned
usr/bin/guild-3.0
usr/bin/guile-3.0.exe
usr/bin/guile-tools-3.0
Any problem with that ?
Will you also provide symlinks or use alternatives for backward
compatibility?
not planned. Do we need it ?
For what I see most of the packages are already aware
of the guile instability and plan accordingly
This is coming from configure.ac of make 4.3
guile_versions="3.0 2.2 2.0 1.8"
I am testing a "alternatives" implementation for at list
3.0.1 amd 2.2.7
that I will deploy together.
I am copying the scheme used by "unison" as base line
