<dsmith>ACTION hides from the auto*

<ArneBab_>rlb: may there be a leftover folder from the build that was made readonly and now can’t be removed without trickery (because the clean removal step failed)?

<ArneBab_>rlb: ⇒ sudo rm -rf guile-3.0.*/ ?

<tohoyn>as regards line 232 in https://cgit.git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guile.git/tree/module/system/foreign.scm, should it be (when (< (bytevector-length bv) (+ offset size))

<civodul>note that the canonical repo is https://codeberg.org/guile/guile

<tohoyn>civodul: ok. line number is the same.

<tohoyn>I can paste some example code where this line causes problems.

<tohoyn>The current version of the check triggers an error iff the bytevector is larger than needed.

<dsmith>ArneBab_, Nope. Fails without that dir already in place. It's created, populated, made RO, and then the failure.

<dsmith>Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate it

<janneke>wouldn't it be nice if in-vicinity supported an arbitrary number of arguments, like say, string-append?

<ArneBab_>dsmith: damn, I had hoped that could fix it …

<ArneBab_>And happy thanksgiving from me, too! (though I don’t)

<rlb>Actually, I might have broken make distcheck when trying to fix something else a bit back. We'll see.

<rlb>OK, I'll revert 6bd70136d96e73542e6725bc490199e17f56ee92. At the time, I was surprised by stale versions, and was "fixing" that, but now I see that allowing stale .versions is intentional --- see build-aux/git-version-gen for the expectations.

<rlb>civodul: ^ fwiw (I may also see if there's a good place to mention the .version expectations).

<rlb>distcheck is fixed - had to fix another couple of bugs (missing bootstrap.am files); I'll push the changes soonish.

<ArneBab_>Thank you!

<rlb>Certainly, though I'm the one who created the most recent issues in the first place :) (e.g. forgot to add srfi-64/automake.scm to SOURCES, etc.)

<ArneBab_>You’re doing the work, so I think you’re entitled to make mistakes :-)
