A couple months ago or so (or more?) I converted some modules I had in
tla to bzr and posted them to the "attic" on
http://arch.gna.org/guile-gnome/bzr/attic/, libwnck is there. I think in
my branches a couple of years ago (!) I converted it to have a defs file
in the module itself.

Do you mind poking around in there and seeing what needs doing? There is
a guile-gnome-libwnck file in pkg/PACKAGES, so it should be more or less
straightforward following the instructions on the guile-gnome web site.

All archives that I know about are on
http://code.launchpad.org/guile-gnome/. You should probably register
your archives there (free mirroring and code browsing, yay).

Give it a try :)

My goal is to document all modules and make basic regression tests with
guile-lib's apicheck (bzr only, it needs a release). You have to know
what your interface is before declaring it stable ;) The outlook is
still "a couple months" at this point, but now I think it's more
realistic.

Yes, still using ChangeLogs. I can see why to generate them, but they
still hold a very central place in my own workflow; so what I would ask
is you bear with me for the present, and maybe poke again in another few
months. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Peace,

Andy.
