Yes, I'll link it:
https://notabug.org/ZelphirKaltstahl/guile-fslib/commit/eacdbb5ee9e30413392908d9e3988e30e9411aa7
<https://notabug.org/ZelphirKaltstahl/guile-fslib/commit/eacdbb5ee9e30413392908d9e3988e30e9411aa7>
Or:
https://notabug.org/ZelphirKaltstahl/guile-fslib/src/0.2.0
<https://notabug.org/ZelphirKaltstahl/guile-fslib/src/0.2.0>
Why not the latest version? Because I have made many changes to the repository
(not so much or none to the actual code though), to make a package using
guile-hall.
I don't exactly remember the error I got, but I could try that route again and
report.
Best regards,
Zelphir
