[admin] Broken darcs push
by Elliott Slaughter 08 Sep '08

08 Sep '08

Hi, A week ago, I sent a message regarding working with darcs 2 repositories on common-lisp.net. There are two main problems with my workaround: * The darcs installed on cl.net (version 1) is completely incompatible with version 2 repositories. * When logging into cl.net via ssh, the shell bash is called by the name sh rather than bash, causing bash to use a compatibility mode for sh which makes it difficult to set PATH for non-interactive logins. $ echo $SHELL /bin/sh The former means that I can't work with my repositories without an additional, personal installation of darcs, and the latter makes it difficult to put my ~/bin in PATH since bash doesn't read either ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc when called by the name of sh. Now since darcs depends on being in the PATH of the remote machine when pushing via ssh, this effectively means I can't push to my darcs 2 repositories on cl.net. Would it be possible to upgrade the darcs installation to version 2? The people on the darcs-user list assure me that upgrading to version 2 shouldn't cause any incompatibilities with version 1 repositories, so any projects using version 1 at the moment shouldn't notice the upgrade, except for a possible performance boost. And the upgrade itself shouldn't be difficult, as there are binaries available at http://wiki.darcs.net/DarcsWiki/CategoryBinaries, as well as up-to-date Debian packages at https://launchpad.net/~laney/+archive (although these are intended primarily for Ubuntu, I believe). -- Elliott Slaughter "Any road followed precisely to its end leads precisely nowhere." - Frank Herbert

[admin] Hosting cl-bzip2 on common-lisp.net
by Chaitanya Gupta 03 Sep '08

03 Sep '08

Hi, I have written a set of CL bindings for libbzip2 (the bzip2 compression/decompression library), which I call cl-bzip2. I would like it to be hosted on common-lisp.net. The code would have a BSD style license. I already have a user account on common-lisp.net -- gchaitanya, so I guess you don't need to create a new one. Thanks, Chaitanya

[admin] Requesting project space for a lisp based database stored procedure generator (and some other questions)
by David Creelman 02 Sep '08

02 Sep '08

Hi, My name is David Creelman and I've been working on a personal lisp project (which I'm having trouble giving a name...) that I'd like to open source. Could you perhaps recommend a lisp friendly open source licence to me? The project is not quite finished, but can already produce some useful outputs. So, what does it do? At the moment I can type the following in lisp :- (defproc mysqlproc () (setv j 23.2) (sprint j) (if (< j 0) (print j))) Which will 'compile' to the following MSSQL :- create procedure mysqlproc as begin declare @j decimal(3,2) set @j = 23.2 print @j if @j < 0 print @j end So, as you can see, it's in it's early days and it is also a learning test bed on lisp for me. My plan is firstly to support most of the important data manipulation commands (select/insert/update) and then maybe some data definition concepts (create/alter/drop table), though I may look at how to integrate this into clsql, which I think does this kind of thing. I'm also going to get it to work with Oracle stored procs. If I'm feeling very ambitious I may end up making it work on sqlite (by making it generate executable code rather than stored procs) and a simple lisp based database as well. Could you let me know if/when it would be possible to set up a place for this on common-lisp.net? Thanks for your time. Regards David GPG 7d779ca5

[admin] Please add loliveira to clbuild
by David Lichteblau 02 Sep '08

Hi, please add Luis (user name loliveira) to the clbuild project. (Note that I am not the original project maintainer for clbuild -- that is probably Luke Gorrie. I hope that's okay.) d.
