[admin] Request for hosting of CL-XMMS
by vikasgp＠gmail.com 27 Jan '05

27 Jan '05

Hi, I'm Vikas G P. My project is called CL-XMMS. It provides UFFI based CL bindings for the XMMS library, allowing you to control an XMMS session through Lisp. The code will be released under GPL. I'd be glad if common-lisp.net would host it. TIA, Vikas G P -- "Since he had nothing better to do well in, he did well in school" --- Joseph Heller, "Catch-22"

[admin] Closer Project Proposal
by Pascal Costanza 24 Jan '05

24 Jan '05

Hi, I have a proposal for hosting the following project on common-lisp.net: - Name of the project: "Closer" - Description: This project is an umbrella project for a few subprojects whose aim is to improve the usability of the CLOS MOP across different Common Lisp implementations. The first step (which already exists to a large degree) is a library that checks what features of the AMOP specification is supported by a given CL implementation. This results in a number of keywords that describe the various aspects of a MOP which can, for example, be used to conditionalize one's source code (when added to *features*). The second step (which exists as a rough sketch) is a compatibility library that provides a package that adds missing features and/or replaces existing features with versions that better reflect the AMOP specs. If the latter is not possible, I try to provide utility functions that allow one to work around restrictions. (If you're interested, I can give an example of what I have in mind.) Finally, the Closer project should host a few example metaclasses, including some of the examples given in AMOP, and probably others as well. For example, my goal is to move some of the stuff from AspectL to the Closer project in order to turn this into a more coherent library. It is important to provide example applications of the MOP because they implicitly provide test cases against which new MOP implementations can be checked for compatibility. So in the long run, the Closer project should help to bring the MOP into a shape that Common Lisp programmers can better rely on across many implementations. - Currently, I am the only member of the project but the goal is to involve other people, especially implementers of CLOS. My own code is to be licensed under a creative commons license - see http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/ - if other code is submitted I will make sure that it is compatible with that license or with other reasonably "free" licenses, including BSD, MIT, LGPL and LLGPL. When in doubt (for example with problematic licenses like GPL) I would want to contact you to discuss this. In general, I prefer licenses that can be used both in an open source and in a commercial context at the same time. OK, I hope that you'll find this admittedly vague description acceptable. ;) All the best, Pascal -- Any sufficently complicated Java program requires a programmable IDE to make up for the half of Common Lisp not implemented in the program itself. - Peter Seibel

[admin] climacs-cvs
by matthieu.villeneuve＠free.fr 24 Jan '05

Hello, There seems to be a little problem with emails that are sent whenever I commit some change in the Climacs project: I receive a message saying that my commit message is waiting for approval by the project admin, and the admin gets told that a message is waiting for his approval, even though I apparently am a member of the project. This may be a little annoying if other people's work depends on changes I am doing, and they are waiting for the commit emails. Would you by any chance know what is wrong here (if something is actually wrong)? Thanks a lot, -- Matthieu Villeneuve

i have lost the admin passwords to the bese-* and ucw-* mailing lists, would someone mind sending them me (if encrypted using the new gpg key) or putting them in ~mbaringer on common-lisp.net? -- -Marco Ring the bells that still can ring.

Hello, Could you please add Matthieu Villeneuve as a member of the Climacs project. He already has a project (Imago) on cl.net.

[admin] CVS lists
by Edi Weitz 10 Jan '05

10 Jan '05

Hi! Are the xxx-cvs mailing lists set up to get CVS messages automatically or are they just named like that and not different from other mailing lists? I ask because I've just imported the RDNZL project into the c-l.net repository but there's no message at <http://common-lisp.net/pipermail/rdnzl-cvs/>. How do I configure this list to send messages whenever the CVS repository changes? Thanks, Edi.
