Hello,

  I tried to compile gwave against g-wrap 1.9.14-2.1 [1]  guile-gnome-platform 
2.16.2-1.2 [2]

  I had to add a patch for gwave package [3] to update the used header. 
  Now when I attempted to build gwave, I got stuck with the following build 
error: 

scwm_guile.c: In function 'scwm_handle_error':
scwm_guile.c:332:30: error: 'scm_the_last_stack_fluid_var' undeclared (first 
use in this function)
   fl = SCM_VARIABLE_REF (scm_the_last_stack_fluid_var);


  Can someone help me with this issue please ?
  Thanks...

[1] It has been in git 
(https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/g-wrap.git) since 8 months 
ago, yet Hideki Yamane forgot to upload for some reason, hopefully he 
will upload it soon.

I'm skeptical about uploading a major new upstream version when there's
effectively no Debian maintainer for it.

Assuming we do end up keeping Guile 1.8 in jessie (which we may, perhaps
for lilypond, if nothing else), then I suppose we'll have to decide
which is worse: leaving the existing unmaintained 1.8-based packages(s)
alone, or making major upstream release NMUs, with no active maintainers
to back them up.

Of course the alternative is to just remove the relevant 1.8-based
packages from Debian, which is what the Guile upstream has requested --
i.e. they'd prefer that when possible we just remove any packages from
Debian that have Guile 2.0 support upstream, but not in Debian.

Thanks

  It's not a new upstream version.

Ahh, apologies -- I was thinking of a different package.

But in any case, the experimental g-wrap hasn't actually built
everywhere, so someone still has to handle that first:

  https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=g-wrapsuite=experimental

Afterward, and once we're sure the new g-wrap actually works correctly
(or at least reasonably) with guile-2.0, we'll have to deal with the
rdepends, i.e. guile-cairo and guile-gnome-platform.  Both will have to
be updated for 2.0, tested, and then migrate in tandem with the new
g-wrap.

Hence my feeling that we need active maintainers for whichever of these
are to remain in Debian.  I might considering helping with that
eventually, but probably not in the short term.

Perhaps try #guile (or the mailing list).  That might be the fastest
place to start.

   https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=g-wrapsuite=experimental

  Well, the other NMU that is in git has some fixes, it seems to be 
  building on all archs that Ubuntu support: ppc64el, powerpc, amd64, 
  i386, arm64,  armhf

 Afterward, and once we're sure the new g-wrap actually works correctly
 (or at least reasonably) with guile-2.0, we'll have to deal with the
 rdepends, i.e. guile-cairo and guile-gnome-platform.  Both will have to
 be updated for 2.0, tested, and then migrate in tandem with the new
 g-wrap.

  guile-cairo has been migrated to guile-2.0, but I don't see any g-wrap 
  package in its deps nor build-deps.

  As for guile-gnome-platform, I have sync'ed it from Ubuntu (they had 
  it migrated to Guile 2.0), and built it on an amd64 (against g-wrap 
  revision that hasn't been uploaded yet).

 Hence my feeling that we need active maintainers for whichever of these
 are to remain in Debian.  I might considering helping with that
 eventually, but probably not in the short term.

  Well, I am trying to help. I was hoping someone would help me with the 
  gwave build problem that I've got.

 Only response wrt 2.0 is a mention of an upload that's been in
 experimental for two years, but no response from the maintainer:

 Last non-experimental upload: 2012-05

  Can't this be experimental version be NMU'ed for unstable ?
  Btw, there is a patch in Ubuntu against g-wrap upload that is in 
  experimental:
