Hi Guix, I've just sent a patch (to guix-patches) that updates bytestructures to version 2.0.1.
The bump in major version is due to a small API change: The indexing semantics of bs:pointer would previously implicitly dereference the pointer when any index other than '* was provided, whereas in this version the dereference must be explicit, and can be '* or an integer that represents an offset from the pointer address a la *(ptr + i) in C. Since the change is for such a niche use-case, I thought that creating a separate bytestructures-2.0 package would be overkill. After updating, I've built all packages in Guix that I could detect which depend on guile-bytestructures. All those that had a test suite, passed it. Some did not have a test suite. (Interestingly, guile-wiredtiger was failing to build even before the update, because it needed to depend on guile2.2-bytestructures since it depends on guile-2.2. I've sent an according patch as well.) If you're the maintainer of a package that uses bytestructures and have an issue with which you need assistance, feel free to send me a private mail as sometimes I end up only skimming the Guix ML. -- Taylan
