[Asdf-devel] Request for Lispworks test on Linux
by Robert P. Goldman 06 Oct '14

06 Oct '14

It's time to do a new release, but I find that my Linux license for Lispworks has expired. LW kindly gives me a free license specifically for use to test ASDF, but it might take a little while to get it renewed. So if anyone out there has an LW license for Linux, and would be willing to test, that would be great. If you qualify, but don't know how to run the tests, just drop me a line and I'll send you instructions. Many thanks! Robert

[Asdf-devel] ASDF Release?
by Faré 05 Oct '14

05 Oct '14

Dear Anton, dear Robert, dear Common Lisp hackers, since 3.1.3 in last July there have been many minor bug fixes to ASDF and UIOP (plus enhancements for ECL, GCL, LispWorks, MKCL), a .cl-source-registry.cache feature for faster script startup, and slight documentation improvements. I believe it's soon time for a 3.1.4 release. Anton, can you run a full grid test with ASDF 3.1.3.10? Robert, do you agree that the code is ripe for release? NB: all enhancements from the minimakefile branch have been merged into master, except for the Makefile itself and the replacement of asdf-builder and run-tests.sh by the lisp script asdf-tools. So it's possible to merge that branch into master without any change to asdf.lisp itself, or its test suite and other associated scripts. Only the test and release infrastructure will be upgraded. —♯ƒ • François-René ÐVB Rideau •Reflection&Cybernethics• http://fare.tunes.org Don't worry about results. You can't wish them into existence. Focus on the process. You have decision power on it. And it will take care of results.

[Asdf-devel] Semantics of asdf:system-relative-pathname
by Ralf Mattes 04 Sep '14

04 Sep '14

Hello list, I just stumbled overthe following strangeness [1]: I've some code in directory foo that contains two asdf files, foo.asd and foo-test.asd, the later contains the following definition: (defsystem "foo-test" :version "0.1" :pathname "t" :serial t ..... ) Now, if I evaluate (asdf:system-relative-pathname :foo-test "baz" :type "rsc") I get a pathname relative to the _asdf-file_, while evaluating: (merge-pathnames "baz.rsc" (slot-value (asdf:find-system :foo-test) 'asdf::absolute-pathname)) yields the correct/expected pathname (i.e. one that honors the pathname spec. of the asdf system). Is this really intended behavior or just an oversight? Cheers, Ralf Mattes Footnotes: [1] in the sense of not following the principle o fleast astonishment

Re: [Asdf-devel] startup times and initialize-source-registry
by Ben Hyde 02 Sep '14

02 Sep '14

Would changing (:tree <path>) so it accepts an optional argument be less adhoc? Possibly (:tree <path> &key (depth nil) (don-not-recure-after-asdf-encountered nil)) That said this would have little if any value in my use case. I point ask it to sweep over my the directory where all my coding lives, and most of the directories in there are not lisp, and so there ain’t any asd files in those. - ben

[Asdf-devel] Minor minimakefile nit
by Robert P. Goldman 02 Sep '14

02 Sep '14

The minimakefile help lists: archive alias for command make-and-publish-archive but make-and-publish-archive is not listed as a command in the help, nor in the makefile. Is this description out of date? Question: can we do a long help for individual commands, like make help archive? As an aside, I would say that if one is interested in making CL a serious scripting contender, some equivalent of perl's Getopt::Long library for command line parsing (perhaps Didier's Clon would fit the bill?), and pod inline documentation is going to be critical. I pushed a comment on the makefile to explain at the top how to get help. Cheers, r

[Asdf-devel] Problem with Minimakefile branch -- was Re: Merging experimental-submodules
by Robert P. Goldman 02 Sep '14

Kambiz Darabi wrote: > I don't know how many people are devs and how many people just 'users' > in the sense that they clone the repo and use it without caring about > the dependencies of asdf. > > But your point is definitively valid. Actually, Kambiz's point is a good one, and it illustrates a real problem with the minimakefile branch. With the old makefile, all someone needed to do if they were to checkout and test ASDF was to grab the git repo, and type make test l=<my lisp> Now this process is substantially more complicated because now the user will have to go to substantially more work to get our not extensively tested CL infrastructure up and running. We should seriously consider revising the minimakefile so that testing does not require CL scripting, but instead goes back to using make and bash alone. Best, r

[Asdf-devel] Merging experimental-submodules
by Robert P. Goldman 02 Sep '14

02 Sep '14

Now is the time to speak up if there's any reason I should *not* merge the experimental-submodules branch, which will make ASDF freestanding by pulling in its build dependencies. I'll probably merge this and push sometime tomorrow. Cheers, r

[Asdf-devel] Time to make ASDF more hookable
by Robert P. Goldman 28 Aug '14

28 Aug '14

ASDF is getting bigger and bigger. Faré and others wish to do some more exciting things with ASDF, like make it the basis for scripting, etc. BUT: ASDF is the "make" of Common Lisp. It must be stable and solid. The whole community depends upon it. So... How can we have our cake and eat it, too? If people want to do more exciting things with ASDF, and don't want to develop their own build system from scratch (the Java folks seem to do this every 15 minutes), it's time to allow the community better hooks to personalize ASDF, instead of making it more and more complicated and, inevitably, more brittle. Then, if you hot rod your ASDF, you can make it do exactly what you want, like your emacs or your linux box. And you won't mess up everyone's reliable but boring commuter sedan in the process. The flexibility of Lisp should let us provide the hooks to let people build a playground on top of ASDF. Let's figure out how to do this.

[Asdf-devel] request for test: experimental-submodules branch
by Robert P. Goldman 27 Aug '14

27 Aug '14

I have tried to pull all the dependencies for ASDF building into the repo. I have done this primarily using git submodules, but also had to pull in cl-ppcre as source, since it doesn't seem to be available as a git repo. If you can, please pull an update, checkout the experimental-submodules branch, and see if it configures properly. All the dependencies should pop up in the ext/ subdirectory (this may not be the best place; I'm open to suggestions for improvement). Please report any problems and Thanks, Robert
