<JohnCowan>dsmith: I misread "at least N" as "(exactly) N".
<tohoyn>daviid: in G-Golf 0.8.4 the animated-paintable demo gives the following error in up-to-date Debian unstable environment: https://paste.centos.org/view/336a2a6b
<tohoyn>daviid: this error does not occur in Debian stable
<tohoyn>daviid: btw, is bpa.st ok for you to use for patches?
<tohoyn>s/patches/pastes/
<tohoyn>daviid: peg-solitaire and simple-paintable have the same bug
<daviid>tohoyn: i'll look at this problem, tx
<tohoyn>daviid: shall I proceed with g-golf 0.8.4 or wait for your correction?
<daviid>tohoyn, i would proceed with 0.8.4, once fixed, I'll release 0.8.5 ...
<dsmith>Issue #128 sounds familar
<graywolf>Hi :) Maybe someone here would know. I am looking for a database library which I could swear I saw before, but cannot find it now. I remember it was never ported to guile 3.0, so it is not guile-dbi nor guile-squee.
<graywolf>Does this ring a bell for anyone or did I just go crazy?
<JohnCowan>kind of vague
<graywolf>Yeah I know, propably part of a reason why duckduckgo nor google helped me.
<noe>if you can’t find it, maybe because it was hosted on notabug.org?
<noe>one of these? https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/search/?q=guile+notabug.org&with_visit=true&with_content=true
<graywolf>Does not look like it. I recall it had fairly fancier API than guile-dbi with support for type mappings and such...
<JohnCowan>What happened to notabug, anyway?
<graywolf>My understanding is that AI scrapers took it down and it never recovered
<daviid>graywolf: guile-pg maybe? https://www.nongnu.org/guile-pg/ and https://github.com/gitGNU/gnu_guile-pg - i don't think anyone took on to maintain it though
<graywolf>aaaa that is the one probably!
<graywolf>Thanks, I wanted to explore its API and it was driving me crazy I could not recall what it was called
<daviid>welcome
