Package: r5rs-doc
Version: 20010328-6
Severity: serious
The scm package will be removed from sarge shortly due to
release-critical bugs that appear to be far from trivial to fix.
Can you explain further? I see two RC bugs filed against the package.
One appears to be specific to the sarge release (build works fine in
unstable), and the other has a suggested fix. I must be missing
something.
Well, the suggested fix is one I suggested; it didn't survive contact with
reality. This means there is no easy fix for the scm problems in unstable,
and the fix for the scm problems in testing is to get the new version in...
I would strongly prefer to fix the scm package rather than rewrite
r5rs-doc.
Have you talked to Aubrey about the problems? I know him pretty well
and I'm sure he'd be willing to help.
I don't know who Aubrey is, but if you have contacts that will help get
these packages fixed for sarge, I would certainly encourage you to try.
It is also possible that this problem can be fixed by having the ftp-masters
drop the ia64 and powerpc binaries from the archive; this should definitely
be cleared with the scm maintainer first.
Thanks,
