Re: Status of Guile 2.0 Support (Next Debian release won't ship guile-1.8)

Right, so we’re sticking with 1.8 for now. Have we ever considered throwing out Guile and replacing it with something else? (Yes, I know that would be a huge operation.) Erlend > On 8 Jan 2020, at 13:29, David Kastrup wrote: > > Erlend Aasland writes: > >> Hey, guys! What’s the status of G

Hey, guys! What’s the status of Guile support in LilyPond? Is there still a transition from Guile 1.8 to 2.0 happening, or has 2.0 been ditched in favour of 2.2? I did a quick search in the bugtracker, and there seem to be people
