Hello Jonas (and Rob) and all, Thank you so much for the bug report and reminders, which are much needed and appreciated! I had been away from my Debian duties and missed the initial report, but finally saw he January 12th message from Jean Abou Samra who added: > The Guile version makes a difference to the Scheme code you can write, > so compatibility issues are not hypothetical. Furthermore, I think > Guile 2.2 would still have value independently from LilyPond: > right now, compiling Guile 3.0 for Windows requires lots of patches > to be found in work-in-progress experimental branches, so > if you want to write portable software, you more or less need > to use Guile 2.2. Thank you so much for Cc'ing Rob regarding Guile-2.2. Rob, as you can see, there is a real need for Guile 2.2 for LilyPond 2.24.0 (December 2022), this coming from LilyPond's Core Developer Jonas Hahnfeld and "Factotum" and Jean Abou Samra. If it is OK with you, Rob, I would be more than happy to adopt guile-2.2 and maintain it for the entire lifetime of Debian 12 (bookworm), and hopefully by Debian 13 (trixie), LilyPond will be ready for guile-3.0. :-)\ Many thanks for your understanding! Warm regards, Anthony
