Hi All,

Could you please remove the "should be considered not stable" language from the description of the nyacc package?
The current text on the website (https://www.nongnu.org/nyacc)is the following gist:


NYACC, for Not Yet Another Compiler Compiler, is set of guile modules for
generating parsers and lexical analyzers. It also provides sample parsers,
pretty-printers using SXML trees as an intermediate representation, a decent
C parser and a `FFI Helper' tool to help create Guile Scheme bindings for
C-based libraries.

Thanks,
Matt

Thanks for reporting this, and thanks for nyacc!

Guix ships four distinct versions of nyacc:

nyacc 0.86
nyacc 0.99
nyacc 1.00.2, and
nyacc 1.04.0 (the default).

This still holds true on the current core-updates branch.

I'd expect the warning to be accurate for the 0.x series, but
maybe they turned out to be more stable than expected :-)

Which version(s) of nyacc have ‘stable syntax and nomenclature’,
and which (if any) did not?

Kind regards,

T G-R

>= 1.00 is a good breaking point.   Thanks for doing this. -- Matt
