Bug#341874: RFA: rscheme -- Threaded, persistent, OO, scheme interpreter and compiler
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
Hi,
whereas I would like to continue packaging rscheme I don't feel I have
gotten on a good foot with this package. This is opposed to the upstream
author, Donovan Kolbly, which is a very helpful person indeed :)
I wouldve liked to delve deeper into rschemes build process, but I just
don't find the time - and this needs to be done io. to get modules to
buld nicely. Upstream is aware of the problem, and will help you with
what he can. Rscheme is being used in Askemos, which is a very
interesting twin-project. Jörg from Askemos is also helpful, and helps
write rscheme.
I suspect Donovan will have a fix for the RC Bug (FTBFS against alpha).
I wont be RFA'ing this for very long before I orphan it. Say end og
january.
Regards,
Lars

The package description is:
RScheme is a scheme interpreter and compiler with object extensions,
threads, a persistent store, an optional real-time garbage collector,
and many other nifty features.
.
RScheme can generate byte compiled modules, or compile directly to C.
This is quite easy with the current configuration. See
/usr/doc/rscheme/module-example for an example.
.
More information can be found at the rscheme home page
http://www.rscheme.org.
