Package: wnpp Severity: normal Hi,
whereas I would like to continue packaging rscheme I don't feel I have gotten on a good foot with this package. This is opposed to the upstream author, Donovan Kolbly, which is a very helpful person indeed :) I wouldve liked to delve deeper into rschemes build process, but I just don't find the time - and this needs to be done io. to get modules to buld nicely. Upstream is aware of the problem, and will help you with what he can. Rscheme is being used in Askemos, which is a very interesting twin-project. Jörg from Askemos is also helpful, and helps write rscheme. I suspect Donovan will have a fix for the RC Bug (FTBFS against alpha). I wont be RFA'ing this for very long before I orphan it. Say end og january. Regards, Lars -----------------<boilerplate>------------------------ The package description is: RScheme is a scheme interpreter and compiler with object extensions, threads, a persistent store, an optional real-time garbage collector, and many other nifty features. . RScheme can generate byte compiled modules, or compile directly to C. This is quite easy with the current configuration. See /usr/doc/rscheme/module-example for an example. .
