Unfortunately I can't live without gnotime and gnucash. A quick test shows that gnotime does build and run correctly also with guile2 with minimal modifications to the port. This isn't a complete solution to this problem, but could be a mitigation. I bet various other gnome parts could be made work with guile2, but I'd like to hear from members of the gnome team about this before acting on this. Maybe there is already work being done. I could add an option to use guile2 in place of guile to gnotime in the while. > > For now, I've reverted back to the previous version of gnucash, which > depends on lang/guile and avoids the conflict. > Unluckily the new version of gnucash strictly requires guile2. Only other option is not updating it, which looks like no solution either. -- Guido Falsi <madpilot@FreeBSD.org>
