We can fix the first one with #:use-module (ice-9 threads).

The second one is just a pain: in 2.2 one is supposed to write

  (setvbuf port 'block)

instead of

  (setvbuf port _IOFBF)

So we could do:

  (cond-expand (guile-2.2 (define _IOFBF 'block))
               (else #t))
 

in some central place (that doesn’t exist), but really, that’s annoying.

So I’m tempted to do nothing.

Note that normally users do not see these deprecation warnings at all.

Thoughts?

 

Why not let good old sed have a run at it? Seems like a simple find and replace operation, and 'block looks nicer than _IOFBF to my eyes.
