Thank you for explaining this. I have been subscribed to the guile-user list for more than a decade, but have not recently been keeping up with developments otherwise. I was confused by this message, which appeared on guile-user in response (it now seems) to discussions in some other forum. As I tried to figure it out I found more things I did not understand and began to have fun with paranoia. > Keith Wright <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > >> From: "Marco Maggi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >> > >> <http://download.gna.org/mcl/not-forever/gee.tar> > >> > >> It is telling that nobody stepped out saying "I have a copy of the > >> source, let's find a place to host it", mh? > > > > I don't know about telling, but I am asking > > why the Subject: header says "Re: <new subject>"? > Ludovic again: > > This thread: > > http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.guile.bugs/3847 > > > What's in the tar file? > > GEE, a collection of Guile bindings to various useful libraries that > Marco has abandoned *and* removed from the web (well, until this > message). I had never even heard of GEE, and at first read this as "GEE WHIZ don't you know that it's a... In fact, in case anyone else is as confused as I am, know that GEE is the name of the library, and gna.org is a French GNU-like website and source code repository. > > What have you done to Marco? > > See https://gna.org/support/?1913 . > > (Which is not a reason to be angry at Guile users IMO...) It seems that Marco now prefers a different version of Scheme. I don't see how anyone could be angry with Guile users (as a group and for this reason). At worst they are dupes. This whole snafu does raise some questions about portability of Scheme programs between implementations, which I will ask in a separate message if I can figure out just what they are. -- Keith
