[admin] Lisp Education CD as ISO project
by Heow Eide-Goodman 12 Oct '04

12 Oct '04

Hi there, LispNYC.org has created a free self-booting Lisp Education CD which contains: * 3 complete Lisp Deveopment Systems * 3 full length books * numbers of tutorials, references, etc. ...all in a single integrated environment. It debuted at Linux World Expo with almost 100 CDs given out to interested individuals. Someone enjoyed it so much, they came back the next day to give LispNYC.org a $20 donation! Anyway, the problem is that LispNYC is running on DSL and cannot host an ISO, which is why I'd like to include it on common-lisp.net. We expect anywhere between 2 and 10 downloads per week (currently a steady 3 requests per week) and I'd also be setting up a mailing list etc. But due to the fact that there exists within the CD: * copyrighted software (Allegro CL and LispWorks) * copyrighted work (Successful Lisp, OnLisp) and the fact that various authors specifically request that: * they retain copyright to their work * it not enter the 'public domain' * the CD remain free of charge ...the license is unique in that the CD expressively remains free (as in without cost) yet not fall into the public domain or under a different license. This of course dose not preclude some of the seperate works falling under a more lenient license. Thus only LispNYC.org, the ALU and myself can legally distribute it. We, of course, have explicit permission from every author to distribute the content found on the CD, which was no small task. :-) Thanks, - Heow

[admin] New project
by Peter Scott 28 Sep '04

28 Sep '04

Project name: asdf-packaging There's a lot of good Lisp code lying around on the internet, but I've become spoiled by the convenience of asdf-install. I want to take some of this unpackaged code and, with the author's permission, make asdf-installable packages. I need a place to put the tarballs. If I can get mailing lists and such, that's good too. So far all I have is a memoization package by Tim Bradshaw, but I hope to add to that. Thank you, Peter Scott

Hi, I have nothing against darcs. You probably want us to install the darcs repository viewer...? Regards, Mario.

Hi, I did some minimal exim reconfiguration: since saturday it is using the spamhaus sbl-xbl blacklist. As anyone can notice, the reduction in spam has been rather dramatic... Regards, Mario.

How would you guys feel about installing darcs on common-lisp.net? I think debian packages it already. -- miles egan OpenPGP/GPG Key 0x01F53D51 @ wwwkeys.us.pgp.net

[admin] hosting request: iterate
by Andreas Fuchs 28 Sep '04

28 Sep '04

Hi all, I would like to move hosting of ITERATE (http://boinkor.net/iterate.html) over to common-lisp.net - it does seem to be a better place to host a common lisp project (-: Here's the rub: ITERATE is an extensible iteration construct written by Jonathan Armstrong, ported to ANSI CL and extended by me and various contributors. It is available under the MIT licence. I won't be needing a CVS repository (the project's using arch already); a -devel mailing list would be appreciated (-: Thanks, -- Andreas Fuchs, <asf(a)boinkor.net>, asf(a)jabber.at, antifuchs

[admin] List Admin Password?
by James Crippen 12 Sep '04

12 Sep '04

I tried logging into the list admin page for lmud-devel with the password I was sent for the shell account, but it didn't work. Can I get that fixed? I haven't tried lmud-cvs or lmud-announce, but I presume they have the same problem. (thanks :count (expt 10 6)) 'james

[admin] Two new projects
by James Crippen 09 Sep '04

09 Sep '04

I have two CL projects that I'd like to move to Common-Lisp.net. They are LTelnetD and LMUD. The former is an implementation of a TELNET server in Lisp, the latter is a MUD in Lisp. I have been working on both of these projects very slowly for some time now, and already have working CVS repositories. But I'd like to move them to C-L.net because I've had problems with both Internet connectivity and with some data loss. If I could get them hosted off-site I'd feel more comfortable about it. Also, having them on C-L.net would encourage others to participate as well. Both are designed with x86-Linux SBCL in mind, particularly with futex support on Linux 2.6 because they are threaded applications. I haven't worked on them in a while, but expect to do so more and more as summer dies down and I have less to do outside. Thanks, 'james

Hi, am I just confused or has sftp://dlichteblau@common-lisp.net/project/cxml/public_html become different from http://www.common-lisp.net/project/cxml since the server move? Problem: In /project/cxml/public_html/david(a)knowledgetools.de--cxml/cmxl/cxml--devel/cxml--devel--1.0/ there is a subdirectory called patch-195, which I cannot find in http://www.common-lisp.net/project/cxml/david@knowledgetools.de--cxml/cxml/… Thanks, David
