Hi guilers, On the #guile IRC channel, Mark Weaver has stressed to me that he thinks it would be a good idea for us to be able to add paths to the end of the load path, since it would allow us to, for example, prefer a built-in guile implementation over a guildhall provided one, when this exists. Right now, for the srfi[0] and guile-lib, I have handled this by not adding files to the package where they have been adopted by guile (e.g. statprof).
Andreas Rottmann suggested something similar in February[1]. I don't have any concrete proposals better than what Andreas has suggested, but I felt I should make this post to the list, lest Mark and I forget. 0. My apologies to whomever it was who reported breakage in the srfi package (and sorry that I've forgotten your name). I have been fixing it, but my current version still has some issues. I promise I will post a guildhall update to here, and guile-user sometime in the next week or two. 1. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-devel/2012-02/msg00038.html -- Ian Price -- shift-reset.com "Programming is like pinball.
