If you use Guix, it should work automatically.  In the absence of it you
can install guile-config from
https://gitlab.com/a-sassmannshausen/guile-config

Let me know if you run into problems!

Indeed — the project generates itself, and thus far hall defaulted to
generating README files in org-mode.

I've just pushed a new set of commits that make hall default to
generating a REDAME.org file, and a symlink to from README to the
former.

So now this issue should be resolved for Hall itself too :-)

Thanks for the note!

Hi Alex,

It's a bit of a side point, but I noticed that your org-mode README is
not properly formatted on the Gitlab site, and it looks like it would
be if you named it README.org.  Is that something you're already aware
of?

Thanks,
Neil

[ANN] Guile Hall Release (v0.2)

2019-02-15 Thread Alex Sassmannshausen
Hello,

I've just released Guile Hall 0.2.  It includes a number of fixes and
improvements:
- We now correctly wrap all guile module dependencies in generated Guix
  recipes
- We have an optional syntax for specifying configure time guile-module
  checks.
- `hall scan` and `hall clean` have become more convenient by virtue of
  the --skip parameter accepting directories
- We now use a fully-fledged test-runner to run unit tests
- Generated code is prettier to look at

I'd like to thank Catonano and Ricardo for either contributing directly
or providing code that resulted in above improvements.

On the roadmap we now have:
- support for the Guile Build System, which would be a first step
  towards having simple Guile projects that do not rely on autotools
- support for hall publish, which is meant as a tool to make
  contributing guile hall based projects to guix significantly easier by
  running automated sanity checks & generating complete guix recipes for
  addition to the guix repo.

You can get it with Guix after pulling the latest version with
$ guix package -i guile-hall

Otherwise you can get the code from
https://gitlab.com/a-sassmannshausen/guile-hall/, and build (hopefully)
using the traditional
$ autoreconf -vif && ./configure && make
dance.

What is Guile Hall?

>From the README:

Hall is a command-line application and a set of Guile libraries that
allow you to quickly create and publish Guile projects.  It allows you
to transparently support the GNU build system, manage a project
hierarchy & provides tight coupling to Guix.

It's fundamental aim is to provide a black box that just works (tm)
for you so you distribute, manage & create guile projects.

This project is part of my overall goal of creating user-friendly basic
tooling & libraries for Guile to encourage newbies to start building
with Guile.

Best wishes,

Alex
