Guile-Lib is intended as an accumulation place for pure-scheme Guile
modules, allowing for people to cooperate integrating their generic
Guile modules into a coherent library. Think "a down-scaled,
limited-scope CPAN for Guile".
Also, it can be seen as a code staging area for Guile; the Guile
developers could decide to integrate some of the code into
guile-core. An example for a possible candidate is SRFI-35.
* SSAX, S-Exp-based XML parsing/query/conversion
* HTMLPrag, a permissive ("pragmatic") HTML parser
* Texinfo processing, enabling literate programming
* Unit testing framework ala JUnit
* Logging system
* String routines (wrapping, completion, soundex algorithm)
* OS process chains (think "shell pipes in scheme")
* An LALR parser
* ANSI escape sequence text coloring
* Structured text (plain, texinfo, html)
* SRFI-35 (conditions)
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
Problem reports, updates or suggestions for this package should be reported with send-pr.
