Greetings,
I see on http://fink.sourceforge.net/pdb/nomaintainer.php that the Guile and Flex packages need a maintainer. I'm interested in doing this, if no one else has taken them on.
I can't speak for Guile, but I had actually taken over flex at one point and upgraded it to the 2.5.31 (from http://lex.sf.net/) before finding out how spectacularly incompatible it is with things written for the old flex -- a lot of stuff in Fink breaks.
Even with debian's patches to fix things (which make 2.5.31 reasonably usable on darwin), it still breaks a lot of stuff -- that's why the Fink "flex-devel" package exists now, for people that need the newer flex features. It stays out of the way of the original flex, and I suspect we'll have to leave the old one pretty much as it is for all of time.
