#1024159 — Bug#969752: lists.debian.org: Request for a new list: debian-scheme

Package: lists.debian.org
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: bap@debian.org, rbl@debian.org, bremner@debian.org, gniibe@fsij.org, abdelhakim@qbaich.com, evo@debian.org, bnewbold@robocracy.org, dai@debian.org, amoebae@gmail.com, nick@nickg.me.uk, tommi.hoynalanmaa@iki.fi, vagrant@debian.org, debian@alteholz.de, sho@debian.org

This is a request for a new mailing list in Debian.

Name:
  debian-scheme

  (Guidelines say it should be short, otherwise
  debian-scheme-dream-team would have been fun.)
 
Rationale:
  Scheme has been a very fragmented programming language in the past,
  requiring little coordination between packages, but the recent R6RS
  and R7RS revisions of the language bring a standard library system
  and it is therefore valuable to have a place in Debian where we can
  discuss how to implement these standards in a way that e.g. all
  implementations can use installed libraries. We're also starting up
  a packaging team, so this will serve as a team list akin to
  debian-hams.

Short description:
  Scheme packaging in Debian

Long description:
  Discussion about packaging Scheme implementations, libraries and
  programs in Debian. Standardization of packaging, team maintenance,
  and other packaging-related discussions.

Category:
  Developers

Subscription Policy:
  open

Post Policy:
  open

Web archive:
  yes


People who are supportive of this request are asked to please send an
email to this bug report to show their interest. (I have Cc:d a few
maintainers of Scheme packages who could be interested).

Thank you for your consideration!

Despite my packaging of a bunch of guile packages in the last couple
years, it is mostly in order to package "guix" for Debian (RFP/ITP
#850644).  I'm not particularly savvy with scheme... although more
clarity and help in how to properly package scheme would be great!

So I'd definitely be open to signing up for such a mailing list, though
if it turned into a firehose of success, I might have a hard time
keeping up. :)


live well,

I support the existence of such a list.  Cheers!

Looks like my email address might have been slightly off, but for the
record, I'd have been fine with it too.

(Thanks to Vagrant for pointing this out to me.)

Thanks

I support this!

In particular it would be helpful to coordinate work on dependent packages 
like 'slib', which I just noticed recently changed maintainer.
