guildhall 2012

[Andy Wingo]

Happy new year, guilers!

Hope all is well with yall.  I have been looking at the guildhall
recently.  To recap, the guildhall is a CPAN-alike for Guile.  It adds
commands onto Guile's `guild' multitool, like `guild update' and `guild
install'.

In my last update[0], I announced a poorly-chosen rename of the package
to "sigil".  I have since renamed it back to "guildhall", and updated
the documentation again.

I also cherry-picked Andreas Rottmann's changes in the dorodango
repository.  Andreas's changes should make it easier to symlink paths
managed by guildhall into Guile's default search paths, if that is
indeed what we want to do.  I haven't tested everything yet after the
merge.

Again, the code is here:

  https://gitorious.org/~wingo/dorodango/guildhall

To check it out, you can:

  git clone git://gitorious.org/~wingo/dorodango/guildhall.git

It's a work in progress; basically the same todo as my earlier update
still applies.  Andreas's changes to the destination mechanism does make
Guile's work easier though.

Patches and feedback most welcome,

Andy
