11 It has been more than a year now, and things have changed :-)
12
13 I've been using SLOTed guile since then, and I didn't notice a lot of
14 issues. Some of them has been fixed and pushed either in the ebuild or
15 into eselect-guile.

21 emacs support is actually not broken, it is simply not provided by the
22 distribution tarball for guile-2. It was a debugger for guile-1.8
23 which is not usable as the internal changed a lot between those two
24 releases. So I just removed any emacs related things in guile-2.0.x
25 ebuilds.

29 I cannot reproduce anymore the build failure related to threads with
30 guile-2.0.6, I haven't test with guile-2.0.5. It seems this has been
31 fixed somehow.
32
33
34 So we have good news, guile can now be shipped to everyone, as all
35 major issues have been fixed. I'm planning to unmask guile-1.8.8-r2,
36 guile-2.0.6 and eselect-guile-1.0 during the next week-end for
37 enabling full testing for guile overlay users.
38
39 After a month or so, I think we will be able to push it to the main
40 tree :-)
41
42
43 There is still bug 351991 [1] concerning dev-scheme/greg. The only use
44 of greg in the tree is for running tests of sci-chemistry/coot. I
45 assigned the bug to sci@ herd 3 days ago, so I think it will get
46 adresses in the upcoming weeks.

49 Thanks for your interest in the Gentoo Lisp project,
