Guile
Hi all, I would like to move the Guile instructions to what I feel is a more proper category, the "Programming" section. Currently it is in the "General Libraries" section, which to me, doesn't accurately reflect what Guile is intended to be. Here is an excerpt from http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/guile.html#whatisit "Guile is a programming language Guile is an interpreter for the Scheme programming language, packaged as a library which can be incorporated into your programs. Your users have full access to the interpreter, so Guile itself can be extended, based on the needs of the user. The result is a scripting language tailored to your application" What say the group? -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 10:30:01 up 9 days, 10:03, 5 users, load average: 0.38, 0.80, 0.62 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

A bit more research digs up this from the Guile info pages: "The Guile Reference Manual ** This reference manual documents Guile, GNU's Ubiquitous Intelligent Language for Extensions." And this: "4 What is Guile? Guile is an interpreter for the Scheme programming language, packaged for use in a wide variety of environments. Guile implements Scheme as described in the Revised^5 Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme (usually known as R5RS), providing clean and general data and control structures. Guile goes beyond the rather austere language presented in R5RS, extending it with a module system, full access to POSIX system calls, networking support, multiple threads, dynamic linking, a foreign function call interface, powerful string processing, and many other features needed for programming in the real world. Like a shell, Guile can run interactively, reading expressions from the user, evaluating them, and displaying the results, or as a script interpreter, reading and executing Scheme code from a file." There are many more references in the info pages about Guile being a "programming language". -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 11:04:01 up 9 days, 10:37, 5 users, load average: 0.01, 0.06, 0.14 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Since there is a command interpreter, I agree. I'm not familiar with guile or scheme, but a program that interprets commands belongs in the programming section just as Python does. BTW, PHP belongs in the programming section too. If we did perl instead of LFS doing it, it would go there too. Reviewing the contents, I lean toward a change in organization in this area. Chapter 23, Databases, is a lot more than "Content Serving" and FTP servers don't really go in the "Web Serving" chapter. Right now we have this organization: Server Networking Mail Server Software Other Server Software Content Serving Databases Web Serving I propose to reorganize these as the following: Servers Major Servers Apache BIND move NFS to here from Chapter 18 (Basic NW Pgms) OpenSSH ProFTPD Samba vsFTPD xinetd Mail Servers [unchanged, but reorder alphabetically] Databases [unchanged] Other Servers [the rest] -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

As far as PHP goes, check this out. :-) excerpt from: http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/blfs-dev/2004-June/006401.html > > First of all, I'm not sure why the chapter is called "Web > Serving".
