how to manage 2 guile version

how to manage 2 guile version

[Marco Atzeri]

I was thinking to pack the last guile-2.0.x
however this will require the repack of 1.8.8
version.

No problem for the headers as they are
properly isolated

/usr/include/guile/1.8/libguile/__scm.h
/usr/include/guile/1.8/libguile.h

but what to do of
/usr/lib/libguile.dll.a

relocate it somewhere like

/usr/lib/guile/1.8/libguile.dll.a

Other suggestion/preference ?

Marco

Yes, that would be a good idea at this point.

Leave it; the new version is named libguile-2.0.dll.a.

https://github.com/cygwinports/guile1.8

(Those haven't been updated in a while, so they may need version/release 
bumps.)

2.0.12 build fine, I need just to look on some test failures

00-socket.test  seems to cause a segfault.

Last week I was planning to just release guile-2.0.14,
but while the test of guile itself is almost fine I noticed an issue
when building "make" with it.

Only tested on 64 bits, 'make check' of make fails on all guile tests
-------------------------------------------
functions/guile .........................................
Test timed out after 5 seconds
Error running ../make (expected 0; got 14): ../make -f 
work/functions/guile.mk

Caught signal 14!

Test timed out after 5 seconds
Error running ../make (expected 0; got 14): ../make -f 
work/functions/guile.mk.1

Caught signal 14!

Test timed out after 5 seconds
Error running ../make (expected 0; got 14): ../make -f 
work/functions/guile.mk.2
--------------------------------------------------

no real time in the next month to chase it.

As I am on the road and upload is not working on my
website, I am attaching the latest cygport and patch file
just in case you or some else would like to check.

FWIW guile 2.2.0 was released two weeks ago [0]. Mostly works, but it
still has failing tests [1].

Oh, great...

So we probably should take this into consideration *now*, even though 
most guile consumers aren't ready for the changes in 2.2 yet.

Fortunately, it seems guile itself has taken their own instability into 
account:

https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Parallel-Installations.html

Although looking at packages which use guile, most haven't fully adapted 
to this yet (guile-config is still used by some, and it doesn't seem 
anyone is using pkg-config to find guile and guild), so we still need to 
provide unversioned binaries/scripts in /usr/bin for now.

It's way too early to make 2.2 "the" guile, so I think we stick with a 
versioned guile1.8 for the stragglers, and 'guile' being 2.0 for now, 
but eventually transitioning to a versioned 'guile2.0'.  We'll have to 
take another look at this once the real world has adapted to 2.2.

Considering some are still straggling on the 1.8 to 2.0 conversion,
2.2 is for far future.

Do you think we need to maintain 1.8 around ?
Debian seems to have drop it.

Far enough that we need 2.0 right now.

> Do you think we need to maintain 1.8 around ?

Based on Fedora's use of each, of the Cygwin packages currently 
requiring libguile17, at least lilypond and TeXmacs seem not to be 
compatible with 2.0.  There are also a few others in Fedora but not in 
Cygwin (coot, drgeo, gnurobots, trackballs).  So I think it needs to 
stay, at least for now.

> Debian seems to have drop it.

Indeed, although they did so only by bundling guile-1.8 with the 
lilypond source package, attempting to patch some for 2.0 (which doesn't 
always work well), and dropping the rest.  I much prefer Fedora's 
approach of parallel-installing both.

I will check in Safe mode without AV.

Hi Yaakov,
thanks. The issue for make was in the lack of
2.0.9-module-ldflags.patch.
With that "make check" has no issue on guile test.

I am making minor change to your proposal for package names;
for 2.0 we have libguile2.0-devel so for 1.8 I am using 
libguile1.8-devel instead of libguile-devel and
current guile-devel is obsoleted by libguile2.0-devel.

I will upload as soon I complete the build for both arch.

Regards
Marco

That's because libguilereadline-* is a module, and without linking it 
with -module, cygport removes the .la file needed to load it (since 
guile uses ltdl).  That's also the reason for KEEP_LA_FILES=module.

Fair enough.

Which you've already done.  Thanks!
