Re: [EXT] Re: Haunt 0.2.6 released

[Thompson, David]

Hey Florian,

Thanks for the report. Yeah, Guile has made incompatible SRFI-64
changes in recent releases. I've chosen to prioritize having a working
test suite for the current version of Guile since that's what I
develop and test against.  The Guix package probably disabled tests
due to this same incompatibility and when they update they could
probably be enabled.
