Licensing Issues

Hello, I am using ABCL to run lisp files in my Java code. ABCL is covered by the GNU General Public License with Classpath exception, meaning that you can use ABCL in your application without the requirement to open the sources to your application. So, I conclude the GNU GPL is not going to effect the license of my Java Code, BUT, what about the lisp code I load using ABCL? Would it have to be released under GNU GPL ? Regards, Hamda

addRepository call
by Cyrus Harmon 01 Jul '15

A recent commit: 62a21ec Fix ABCL-ASDF usage with maven-3.3.x contained the following change: - (when repository - (#"addRepository" collect-request - (if repository-p - (ensure-remote-repository :repository repository) - (ensure-remote-repository)))) + (#"addRepository" collect-request + (if repository-p + (ensure-remote-repository :repository repository) + (ensure-remote-repository))) The upshot of this change is that it broke my code that uses :repository nil. This may be a non-standard thing, but I use it for jars in my local maven library. I propose the following: --- i/contrib/abcl-asdf/maven-embedder.lisp +++ w/contrib/abcl-asdf/maven-embedder.lisp @@ -469,10 +469,13 @@ (defun resolve-dependencies (group-id artifact-id artifact (java:jfield (jss:find-java-class "JavaScopes") "COMPILE"))) (collect-request (java:jnew (jss:find-java-class "CollectRequest")))) (#"setRoot" collect-request dependency) - (#"addRepository" collect-request - (if repository-p - (ensure-remote-repository :repository repository) - (ensure-remote-repository))) + + ;; Don't call addRepository if we explicitly specify a NIL repository + (unless (and repository-p (not repository)) + (#"addRepository" collect-request + (if repository-p + (ensure-remote-repository :repository repository) + (ensure-remote-repository)))) (let* ((node (#"getRoot" (#"collectDependencies" (ensure-repository-system) (ensure-session) collect-request))) (dependency-request which will call ensure-remote-repository only if :repository NIL is not explicitly specified. Any objections? thanks, Cyrus

(require 'jna) failing in 1.3.2

Hi armed bears, I'm getting a DependencyCollectionException from org.eclipse.aether.internal.impl.DefaultRepositorySystem: "failed to read artifact descriptor for net.java.dev.jna:jna:jar:4.1.0". This is ABCL 1.3.2, JDK 1.8.0_40, on Linux. ... I just tried JDK 1.7.0_71 and 1.6.0_25, and they both fail the same way. Any ideas? -- Scott

[Patch] Add name to "no breaking space" character
by Javier Olaechea 12 Jun '15

12 Jun '15

Hi, when trying to load spinneret <https://github.com/ruricolist/spinneret> on ABCL it would fail as ABCL does not recognize the character #\No-break_space <https://github.com/ruricolist/spinneret/blob/master/syntax.lisp#L37>. The character in question is named #\_. This patch adds a human readable name, #\No-break_space, which is used in sbcl, ccl and clisp, and permits spinneret to load. Hope it is adequately formatted as I'm not familiar with svn, Javier Olaechea -- "I object to doing things that computers can do." — Olin Shivers
