Hi all,
I have been lately working more and more with Guix and Guile Scheme
and really embracing it. Although for me to really commit to it, I
need some database libraries that actually work. I discovered the
`guile-dbi` and `guile-dbi-sqlite3`
(https://github.com/opencog/guile-dbi) but notice that they depend on
Guile 2 in Guix.
This makes it unworkable for me, also since the software I am
building, as well as my Guix system, run on Guile 3 only.
I attempted to patch the Guix package myself, but I gave up after much
frustration. I would really appreciate some help from someone that
could fix it.
I don't see anything that stops us from upgrading in Guix, and if I
read correctly, I think even guile-dbi uses Guile 3 already, it's just
the Guix package that is outdated.
