Re: guile-hall error on probably every command

[Alex Sassmannshausen]

Hi Zelphir,

Always nice to hear someone is interested in Hall!  Sorry you ran into
this issue though :-(

Aleix and Tomas rightly point out the issue is caused by the regexp
used in guile-config.  Aleix provided a merge request fixing the issue,
but as you correctly point out, I have not rolled a new release yet.

I will attempt to release a new version this weekend and push the new
release to Guix.

I'll make an announcement when it's done!

Best wishes,

Alex
