Well, the above attached patch works with guile-2.0.14 as well. Just tested. Though, the question remains what to do? (Some thoughts:) For both guile-versions we lack a method to deal with .go-files. Although I always happily test, I'm afraid I can't help with it. I have the feeling already touching the limits of my current skills. Also, for both guile-versions (more for 2.0.14) encoding and string-handling-issues may persist. I'm aware of your thoughts here http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-user/2017-03/msg00112.html Though, I think it's out of my depth as well. Forking guile-1.8 was discussed as well. Currently I have builds for guile-1.8.8, 2.0.14 and 2.2.0 on my computer, all working. It would be nice we could move to guile 2.2. As guile-devs claimed, I think I can confirm memory-handling is far better with guile 2.x. While forking 1.8 we wouldn't benefit from it. For huge scores my small laptop needs to be restarted every time I compile a huge score with lily-guile-1.8. That's a pain. Far better with guile 2.x Ok, lilypond is (sometimes much) slower (even slower with 2.0.14), that's the main drawback from a user's point of view. But back to the initial question. Possibilities: (1) I could try to revise the guile2-patches and implement them in master. (2) Doing the same but placing them in a new public branch for guile-2.2 (3) We could fork guile-1.8. I think we need a consensus or at least sort of a roadmap.
