I'm working on some stuff that requires database support in my guile applications, so I thought I'd package more guile database packages. I started working on guile-pg... however, it has a few issues:
- .scm files are not installed, it doesn't look like these files are compiled .go files either. The files installed look like they have all whitespace and niceties stripped, which makes it had to read. But that's the default from the way the package is set up to install things. Maybe doing otherwise requires setting a flag, or getting a patch upstream? - I couldn't get tests to work because it was either looking to start a database connection or use one that existed, and neither of those worked, so I disabled tests. - It installs to the wrong place, and I don't know enough about autotools to fix it. It installs to the profile's "share/guile/site/" rather than "share/guile/site/2.0/" so I found that it was not on my default guile path. Not sure how to deal with this. Anyone interested or knowledgable enough to help on this one? Thanks! - Chris
