[admin] Hosting request
by Sean Ross 08 May '04

08 May '04

Hi admin, This a request for hosting the cl-store project on common-lisp.net. My name is Sean Ross and cl-store is a portable serialization package for writing/reading common-lisp objects from streams, much like the cmucl wire package. It currently, on sbcl, supports serialization of all lisp objects (I think) apart from functions, methods and generic functions. CL-STORE has been tested and confirmed to work on Linux x86 SBCL, CMUCL, CLISP and Lispworks. Windows CLISP and Lispworks. Project Details ================== Name : CL-STORE. License : MIT. Description : Portable Common Lisp serialization package. Author : Sean Ross <sdr(a)jhb.ucs.co.za>. Members : None. Hosting would be extremely appreciated. Regards Sean. -- The pen is mightier than the sword. Only if the sword is very short and the pen is very sharp. Terry Pratchett.

[admin] Oops, bogus pages
by Nikodemus Siivola 08 May '04

The following URLs seem to have a b0rken versions of the taxonomy: http://www.common-lisp.net/projects/(index.s?html) Since there are no corresponding pages in /var/www/ I'm assuming that this is the result of some rewriting magic in Apache? Cheers, -- Nikodemus

[admin] running stuff on the cl.net machine
by Marco Baringer 04 May '04

04 May '04

1) i have a script which builds up daily tarballs of ucw, currently this runs on my laptop everynight a midnight. i'd be a lot more realiable (i'm not always connected) if it ran directly on the cl.net machine. would there be any problems with running this as a cron job? the overhead would be minimal (copy, tar then bzip about 3 MB of text files). 2) i'd like to, eventually, run an instance of ucw so that people could play with it without having to install it. this would probably be easiest if it ran behind it's own copy of apache with mod_lisp installed. however, this could, potentially, use up a good bit of cpu (ucw isn't exactly optimized yet). anyway, feel free to simply ignore both of these requests for any reason. they'd make my life easier, but neither is a show stopper. -- -Marco Ring the bells that still can ring.

[admin] request for anonymous rsync service
by Eric Marsden 30 Apr '04

30 Apr '04

Hi, Would it be possible to set up an anonymous rsync service at common-lisp.net? I have two use-cases in mind here: - the CMUCL web pages are hosted at cons.org/cmucl, but generated on the common-lisp.net machine. For the sychronization between the two (via a cron job), anon rsync would be better than ssh access, in order to avoid password management problems. - it would be a convenient way to update the CMUCL download mirrors. The first case would be publishing the project web space over rsync, and the second publishing the project's FTP space. For the second case, which might increase your bandwidth load noticeably, I think we could arrange to have one mirror site sync with common-lisp.net, and the other mirrors syncing with the "master mirror". Thanks, -- Eric Marsden <URL:http://www.laas.fr/~emarsden/>

[admin] Hamburg Lispers Mailing List
by Edi Weitz 30 Apr '04

30 Apr '04

Hi! I'm currently maintaining the list for the Hamburg (and Berlin) Lispers which is used to coordinate occasional meetings. This "list" is actually nothing but an account and a .forward file on one of my machines at home. As I'm about to re-arrange a couple of things I have to move this somewhere else. We could use something like Yahoo! lists but I think it'd be nicer to host this list on common-lisp.net if that's possible. So, I'd like to apply for a "mailing list only" project like "regex-coach". The name of the list should be "lisp-hh" and it'd be very helpful if you could initially subscribe the following members edi(a)agharta.de ssekkat(a)gmx.de grabarske(a)gmx.net joswig(a)lispmachine.de david(a)lichteblau.com ahz(a)snafu.de ahz(a)smi.de unk6(a)rz.uni-karlsruhe.de ngo(a)cartan.de benno.biewer(a)berlin.de awillig(a)hpi.uni-potsdam.de helmut(a)cybernetic-systems.de Henner.Bartels(a)Hamburg.de schween(a)snafu.de Joerg-Cyril.Hoehle(a)t-systems.com alemmens(a)xs4all.nl hkirschk(a)csc.com tekai(a)gmx.li hans(a)huebner.org Andrej_Bondar(a)gmx.net tim(a)tenkan.org costanza(a)web.de a.thieme(a)freenet.de uho(a)xlerb.de dam(a)baltic-online.de KilianSprotte(a)web.de lars(a)dbdmedia.de manuel(a)bl0rg.net such that they get a welcome email with an automatically generated password. Thanks in advance, Edi.

[admin] CL-PPCRE anoncvs trouble
by Nikodemus Siivola 23 Apr '04

23 Apr '04

I'll see if I can figure this out myself, but here's the case: $ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@common-lisp.net:/project/cl-ppcre/cvsroot login Logging in to :pserver:anonymous@common-lisp.net:2401/project/cl-ppcre/cvsroot CVS password: $ cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@common-lisp.net:/project/cl-ppcre/cvsroot co cl-ppcre cvs server: warning: cannot write to history file /project/cl-ppcre/cvsroot/CVSROOT/history: Permission denied cvs server: Updating cl-ppcre cvs server: failed to create lock directory for `/project/cl-ppcre/cvsroot/cl-ppcre' (/project/cl-ppcre/cvsroot/cl-ppcre/#cvs.lock): Permission denied cvs server: failed to obtain dir lock in repository `/project/cl-ppcre/cvsroot/cl-ppcre' cvs [server aborted]: read lock failed - giving up Iirc there have been similar problems before, right? What's the usual cause? Cheers, -- Nikodemus

Spamfilter might be a winning idea. Can mailman talk to one? Cheers, -- Nikodemus
