mailing-list for TeXmacs Users

["Andrey G. Grozin" <address@hidden>]

I'll not be able to add this release to Gentoo linux.

In Gentoo, guile-1.x is masked; all packages which depend on it are 
removed, except TeXmacs, which is masked. This means that, theoretically, 
any user can locally unmask guile-1.x and TeXmacs and install them (Gentoo 
is source-based, all packages are compiled on the user's computer). But 
after masking guile-1.x, an increasing number of packages started to 
declare that they depend on guile-2.x. This is natural. Both versions of 
guile cannot be installed in the system simultaneously. I kept guile-1.x 
and TeXmacs in my computer as long as I could, but this started to prevent 
normal updates of many unrelated packages. So, regretfully, I had to 
remove guile-1.x and TeXmacs from my computer. Now I cannot check that the 
new release compiles, and hence cannot commit it to Gentoo.

There will be no new releases of TeXmacs in Gentoo. They would be almost 
useless anyway, because only a tiny fraction of users would risk to unmask 
locally some masked packages.
