Hi, I've written a CPS transformer for common lisp that I'd like to put up on common-lisp.net. My username on common-lisp.net is ldanna. I think I will call the project shifty. -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) mQGiBD0YtVQRBADG93Nrd35o+DpGHl48PmuPvvdeGg11rZ3X0JPqv0U24IUVxdJm rx1tt1uT5t27Xmh9ZlPMn8qzg27+uNwjBsp00RnzyPo/LIO4javKasOKBy1GjE8x EzfQarO2ubHE16rphsqxk3/MF/np3hpYWDEwgFT5RxZg5rvAvrvA5F81YwCgsaqL xL43pFrc3NiuKfcBf64EEE0D/ixtTbMaDvlm7xait7fDnBNkRHEAVReZyP94Gpku CHAtgcV3LhGoEycKe9qKwsB0Yzscba5WMexe8my2L+dPFOjr/yIGLI2bf8/a5Qwo Gl+6Gci1BFz2FqtYduQCsnNE+UGFUweqeQOjZKnZDCBpjvhGeRdJkKNEdRRYNweK 9DH3A/oCCssOuxK1dEM7PaOmB8n+XxHXhHaWwHHBivwRGimXpSKNUdd4UeFMExe3 ye4cvBIy+xZTaDs1wTTZyLg9otSgizi5g6nPuoGQRxO26XPZBAB9wQphbPglaWwY +Nq+j8I8N6abFXk5aKiIhobmuN/dMR4zLV8McfwewN8sGO5trLQmTGFycnkgRCdB bm5hIDxzbW9vZi1yYUBlbGRlci1nb2RzLm9yZz6IXwQTEQIAFwUCPRi1VAULBwoD BAMVAwIDFgIBAheAABIJEFJWSe4rEFmOB2VHUEcAAQGU7wCfbY5E4Lff+nO1+K/B aJMkMZ+pnt4AnRlUhbZEe2VAFbfUOLBYI7+KTo+XiEYEEBECAAYFAj0YtgMACgkQ ovRqzWzFayzHXACgtD+55FWM9DbNaW4e7EL7bBPr8rYAoKOjtWnzp74cQPt3yQb3 8wHPev/NuQENBD0YtVgQBADoDtxFBfCLa7DRloil5Sv3GjGdnIJJtYHzlY4Isbq1 C2rRdTIXlwKF3szoXmMieOIxAOqKIJfOdYj+ScxnsOzE0tDnzbN3CaXOzrebe+Xn 7/lJyAN5EC057Xz8ulMyTMV/p9uaGGpvMpZhHn2TGZexRHKAROeBvlQ/gSFio2z8 VwADBQQAiVLVUoeBzBMxYMVsNK8Q7KYINh6bSXcgMIVxns4h0rMDX+NRINCRBssq S/wQ1vXfkHjQoHTmennDA+Ptj5vi2WF+W33Qg+Fq3fhruIUe+8JSe4gb7yrqfNvP TRdhXOffQGmAOM3IVMT2V4nLh6dAKxNNE7MRj56oQdH4D/iatnCITgQYEQIABgUC PRi1WAASCRBSVknuKxBZjgdlR1BHAAEBMhoAn2hjcVsL1ieyUEI4oJwBnh1xcIhD AJ0dVoauIfxx8MaKIVN9jB8Uut+o8g== =vbdc -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----

[admin] Project "The Feebs War"
by Gustavo 16 Sep '07

16 Sep '07

Well, I believe the "Planet of the Feebs"<http://www.cliki.net/Planet%2520of%2520the%2520Feebs>is a well-known project made for begginers. But it has many problems: - The project is not active, and really old; - The documentation is not 100% compatible with the code; - Graphics are displayed only in X Window System in a black-and-white poor style; - There are about 2000 lines of code in a single file! (Well, it's old and probably there wasn't ASDF at that time); - The code for the graphics is complex (it looks like written in C!) and (I believe) represents about 75% of the number of lines; - Whenever someone makes a feeb "brain", he or she needs to test for every element of the "vision" (or of the "proximity" structure) whether it is a single element or a list (why not the convention that every element is a list?); - No help for newbies (the project is mainly directed to them); ... Well, I started to make a project called "The Feebs War" (based on the code of "Planet of the Feebs") that is intended to correct its problems, with: - A graphical interface (using lispbuilder<http://lispbuilder.sourceforge.net/>), supporting that you choose the graphics of your own feeb; - An easier way to make a feeb brain intended to help lisp newbies; - A more complete and direct-to-the-point manual; - Implementation of some features that the original manual points but the code doesn't have; - More global parameters; ... The graphical interface is not ready yet, but there is already a way to display a game (printing the map in text mode), and it works quite well... But I need a place to put the project, and this version, so more advanced users could see the code and point some mistakes (I am a begginer, I am 20 and have about 1 year of lisp), and later anyone can get the 1.0 version and learn lisp, a place where people can put their feeb, and maybe some contests to see who can make the best feeb... Here are more information of the project: - Project: The Feebs War - License: GPL - Repository: Subversion (I would like to have svn, I believe it is better, and I already use it) - Developer: Gustavo Henrique Milare <gugamilare(a)gmail.com> (just myself for now) - Public Key: it is attached (I have just created it for this purpose). If you have any questions, just let me know.

[admin] mask-lambda
by Nick Allen 16 Sep '07

16 Sep '07

hello, I'd like to open source some lisp code and I'm wondering if I can host it at common-lisp.net the code provides the programmer with an API for controlling how individual lisp functions are printed. it is intended to be used as a debugging aid when there are lots of first-class functions and closures hanging around. `Mask-lambda' is split into two systems: `dummy-mask-lambda' and `real-mask-lambda'. `dummy-mask-lambda' provides the API, but does close to nothing. `real-mask-lambda' extends the functionality of the dummy API to actually do stuff. splitting it into two systems like this allows the library implementer to support `real-mask-lambda' without forcing the library user to use it (and thus pollute her lisp image with MOP stuff or use a lisp implementation that supports certain mop features). My name is Nick Allen (I'm the only developer) the project name is `mask-lambda' the license will be MIT, my pgp key is attached thanks Nick

[admin] new project proposal: Submarine
by Ryszard Szopa 16 Sep '07

16 Sep '07

Hello, I would like to start a project on common-lisp.net. The project name is submarine. My name is Ryszard Szopa, and at the moment I am the only maintainer. My public gpg key is attached. >From my README file: Submarine is a Common Lisp library that's somewhere between a PostgreSQL library an an object persistency system. It uses Postmodern to communicate with the database. The basic idea is that you create your classes in the metaclass DB-CLASS and submarine cares about creating SQL tables or, if the tables already exist, checking if they conform to the provided specification. Moreover, Submarine supports an intuitive way of expressing both one-to-many and many-to-many relations. Getting submarine ================= At the moment there's only a darcs repository available: darcs pull http://bender.streamtech.nl/darcs/submarine/ You will also need my mop-utilities, which may be incorporated into submarine in the close future: darcs get http://bender.streamtech.nl/darcs/mop-utils Dependencies ============ Submarine depends on Postmodern and Iterate. It uses also my library of MOP utilities, MOP-UTILS, which may become a separate library in the future. On platforms other than SBCL, mop-utils needs Closer-mop. License ======= Submarine is released under a BSD-like license. Which approximately means you can use the code in whatever way you like, except for passing it off as your own or releasing a modified version without indication that it is not the original. Relation to Postmodern ====================== Submarine started as a patch that added, among others, foreign keys support to Postmodern. This meant hacking the DEFTABLE macro and TABLE and TABLEFIELD classes. After some time I realized that my modified Postmodern macros had become far too large and heavy to be easy maintainable. So, I decided to leave Postmodern's code as it was and write a separate library. Introduction for Postmodern users ================================= Submarine tries to keep as much as possible of Postmodern's original API. I use the same terminology, and functions with similar names will probably do very similar things. My purpose was twofold. First of all, I wanted to make porting programs using Postmodern to Submarine easy. Secondly, this would allow me to use some of Marijn Haverbeke's superb documentation nearly without any changes. Main differences between Postmodern and Submarine: * You don't have to create DAO (database access object) classes and SQL tables separately. You just create classes belonging to a certain metaclass, and the library cares of the rest. * If the table with an appropriate name exists in the database, Submarine will test if it has columns with the right names and types. If a column does not exist or has a wrong type, Submarine will offer the user a possibility to fix it. Submarine will warn, but do nothing about any additional columns in the table. * Each DB-CLASS class has its own connection specification. This means that you can just access your objects, without wrapping them in a WITH-CONNECTION macro, and they will care about setting the right connection. * DAO is a basis class for DB-CLASS classes, and methods that are supposed to work on an object of any DB-CLASS class use DAO as a dispatch type. Of course, you don't have to use DAO as a base class, but it makes a lot of things easier. * Submarine supports foreign keys. If you define a DB-CLASS class with a slot whose type is another DB-CLASS, it is treated as foreign key and an appropriate constraint is added to the database. * Submarine provides a function to retrieve all the elements of a given type standing in a many-to-one relation with some DAO object. * The DEF-MANY-TO-MANY macro defines a many-to-many relation between two classes and creates methods appropriate to their retrieval (it creates a link table in the database). * DB-CLASS slots have an additional attribute TRANSIENT. If you set it to a non-NIL value, it will behave just as a STANDARD-SLOT-DEFINITION and will be ignored in database related operations. * Submarine uses MOP rather than macros to achieve its purposes. This makes it easier to maintain and to extend. At the moment there's no real documentation apart from docstrings, but there's a poor man's tutorial in the file http://bender.streamtech.nl/darcs/submarine/doc/example.lisp (this should give you a pretty good overview of the possibilities of Submarine. -- http://szopa.tasak.gda.pl/

[admin] project application for cl-serializer
by Attila Lendvai 16 Sep '07

16 Sep '07

dear admins, we have another project that we would like to make available for the public: cl-serializer. it's yet another serializer like cl-store (or the serializers in bknr, rucksack, or elephant), but it's highly optimized, so it's faster, conses less and generates smaller output then the others. it's licensed under BSD / public domain. if the project is accepted, please add the following members: lmeszaros tborbely thank you for your time, -- attila
