[ cc'd to guile list so Guile people can confirm the packaging bugs before someone reports them ] Red Hat Rawhide's guile-1.3-1 and guile-devel-1.3-1 RPM packages have the following packaging bugs as far as I can tell from the Rawhide RPM list at http://rufus.w3.org/linux/RPM/rawhide/1.0/i386/RedHat/RPMS/ (for those who may not know, the distinction between a regular and -devel package is that you should need only the non -devel package to run binaries linked against the package, but -devel should provide everything else you need to compile programs from source that link against the package) * guile-devel-1.3-1 does not include guile-config (neither does guile-1.3) * guile-snarf is in guile-1.3-1 instead of in guile-devel-1.3-1 * guile-1.3-1 installs the Guile m4 macros (guile.m4, qthreads.m4), I believe that neither package should install these but if one does it should be guile-devel. * The guile-1.3-1 package depends on the umb-scheme package for no apparent reason. * The guile-devel-1.3-1 package depends on the m4 package, which is wrong since it includes no m4 macros (although guile-1.3 does, and does not depend on m4). * The guile-devel-1.3-1 package does not depend on the guile package, I believe this is wrong on general principle but will be even more wrong when guile-config is added to it since that is a Guile script. I will report these unless Todd wants to, since he discovered the bugs. I think we will need to add a warning to the scwm install docs not to use the guile-1.3 RPMs from rawhide for the time being. - Maciej Stachowiak
