Subject: guile-1.8: Enable thread support

Date: Mon, 13 Jun 2011 16:40:46 -0400

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: guile-1.8
Version: 1.8.8+1-6
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu oneiric ubuntu-patch

In Ubuntu, I was rebasing to Debian and noticed that the only difference we
still held was the attached patch to enable thread support.  Seems like
something Debian would want too?

The original notice for this change was:

    - Build with thread support. Some guile-using programs like autogen need
      it.
    - Add debian/guile-1.8-libs.shlibs: Thread support breaks ABI, bump the
      soname.

Thanks for considering the patch.

I'll have to look at the patch, but the original reason I never
supported 1.8 threads in Debian is because I released a version without
threads -- threads were broken early on, and a releasing a newer
threaded version would break the ABI.

I see from the comment above that the ABI was bumped, but I'll have to
examine how that was done.  Previously, I couldn't bump the soname
because it might conflict with the 2.0 sonames, once 2.0 was released.
I haven't checked to see what they chose yet.

In any case, my current plan is just to finish packaging 2.0, which will
have threads, and then start planning the removal of 1.8.

Thanks

Hello,

With the upload of 2.0 with threads enabled I guess both bugs can be
closed.

I'm closing this since guile-2.0 has been available with threads for a
while.
