| Port: | guile guile18 |
Description
GNU Guile (lang/guile) has started a new stable release series (version 2) and Portfiles need to change to reflect this.
In the spirit of the existing guile16 port, I have created a guile18 port for the old stable series and changed the existing guile port for version 2.0. All this, of course, in a private repository.
Portfiles attached.
Details: The guile18 port uses the same patch files as the former guile from from which it was copied. post-destroot fixups follow those in the guile16 port. guile 2.0.1 builds and installs without patches.

Adding maintainers of dependent ports to Cc, since I don't know how this will affect them.

For gnucash: it will still need guile 1.8, so we'll need to keep it around as guile18. It would probably require patching gnucash to find guile18 in its new location, as we did back when guile was updated to 1.8 (and gnucash was still using 1.6).
I imagine the same is true of at least some of the other dependents...

I'm not a MacPorts maintainer and have no real experience as such. So, all I can do is state the current position and ask that it be addressed by somebody qualified.
Port 'guile16' is the 1.6.x series. Port 'guile' is still the old 1.8.x series. There is no sign of a port for the guile 2.x series.
Basically, nothing has changed.

I was the maintainer of mdk. As I posted in ticket #32345 I will not maintain the port anymore.
However, one of the last things I did was a patch for mdk to support Guile 2. The patch was sent to mdk's author. Still waiting for release.
I will attach the patch here, it should apply cleanly.
