[asdf-devel] ASDF commit
by Gary King 23 May '09

23 May '09

I just pushed a commit that improves version detection (based on a git tag) and added a small amount of automation in a make file. I've made this version 1.350 just so as to start numbering at a happy multiple of 50. -- Gary Warren King, metabang.com Cell: (413) 559 8738 Fax: (206) 338-4052 gwkkwg on Skype * garethsan on AIM * gwking on twitter

[asdf-devel] run-shell-command
by Robert Goldman 21 May '09

21 May '09

I see the following note in the ACL block: ;;?? will fail if command has embedded quotes Question: would this be fixed if we changed: (format nil "~a -c \"~a\"" #+mswindows "sh" #-mswindows "/bin/sh" command) to (format nil "~a -c \'~a\'" #+mswindows "sh" #-mswindows "/bin/sh" command) This would make anything in the command string not interpolate, though, so that seems bad... thoughts? r

[asdf-devel] Patch to asdf:run-shell-command
by Robert Goldman 20 May '09

20 May '09

Bug: Running ACL under SLIME, asdf:run-shell-command raises an error. The problem is that the *verbose-out* that is passed to run-shell-command has been bound by SLIME to a gray stream. This is not an acceptable argument to pass to :output for excl:run-shell-command. Here is a proposed patch. Best, r diff --git a/asdf.lisp b/asdf.lisp index aa1066b..82c9de3 100644 --- a/asdf.lisp +++ b/asdf.lisp @@ -1323,7 +1323,12 @@ output to *VERBOSE-OUT*.

[asdf-devel] asdf-binary-locations
by Robert Goldman 18 May '09

18 May '09

I was just setting up a new machine to do lisp work on, and got part of the way through the install, then realized "oh, drat, now I need to get asdf-binary-locations, too." Would it be possible to simply distribute a-b-l with ASDF from now on? It's a pretty tiny add on, and it has been rock solid for a long time now. The cost seems very low (small number of bytes, and it would be disabled unless launched by the user), and I'd argue that skipping a step in working lisp environment configuration would be a good thing. best, r

[asdf-devel] ASDF:OOS LOAD-OP :FORCE T and SBCL contribs
by Nikodemus Siivola 16 May '09

16 May '09

LOAD-OP :FORCE T propagates to depended-on systems -- meaning they will be recompiled as well. This is nasty when depending on an SBCL contributed module or anything else likely to be installed in directory with no write-permissions for the user. The easiest way to deal with this would be to add ;; Prevent :FORCE T from trying to recompile contribs. (defclass sb-contrib-system (system) ()) (defmethod traverse :before ((o compile-op) (c sb-contrib-system)) (when (operation-forced o) (warn "Ignoring :FORCE T for COMPILE-OP of SBCL contributed module ~:@(~A~)." (component-name c)) (setf (operation-forced o) nil))) under #+sbcl in asdf.lisp, and make SBCL defsystems use :class asdf::sb-contrib-system. However, presumably there are other cases where systems may be installed without write-permissions, so recompilation is not going to work. Perhaps a better solution would be to export OPERATION-FORCED and TRAVERSE, so that this could be deal with where-ever is needed -- especially in local initialization files for systems installed in read-only locations. The SBCL solution would look about the same -- it just would not reside inside asdf.lisp. Am I on the wrong track? Cheers, -- Nikodemus
