[Asdf-devel] COERCE-CLASS error format string
by Matt Niemeir 06 Aug '14

06 Aug '14

Hello. COERCE-CLASS's error reporting has an invalid format string, which becomes evident in the error reporting of a call like: (asfd:operate 'cl-user::load-op 'alexandria) I have (tried to) attach a patch to this email.

[Asdf-devel] Some ASDF patches
by Faré 05 Aug '14

05 Aug '14

Dear Robert, I have two local branches with these patches. May I merge into master? The input-string function was added for symmetry while hacking cl-launch, though I ended up not using it, to remain compatible with older versions of uiop. The uiop:getenv bug was discovered while fixing cl-launch regressions on LispWorks. The fasl-op thing is what he had discussed before (only minimally manually tested). —♯ƒ • François-René ÐVB Rideau •Reflection&Cybernethics• http://fare.tunes.org If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a month. — Theodore Roosevelt

[Asdf-devel] Call for Testers (just quick bootstrap test for now)
by Dave Cooper 01 Aug '14

01 Aug '14

Dear All, We are releasing Gendl (our free, open-source product) as a pre-built distribution, based on CCL, on MacOS, Linux, and Windows (I'm giving a tutorial on Gendl at Montreal ILC, so this is part of the reason for making convenient self-contained builds available). At this point we'd like to request anyone who is interested to download one or more of these bundles, and simply test the start-up. The respective downloads for current builds are here: http://downloads.genworks.com/gendl1587p004-devo-ccl.dmg (Mac) http://downloads.genworks.com/gendl1587p004-windows-oss.exe (Windows) http://downloads.genworks.com/gendl1587p004-ccl-linux.zip (Linux) The Mac and Windows versions are self-contained including Emacs and enough of Quicklisp/Slime to get bootstrapped (quicklisp and asdf are not built-in to the image). The Linux distribution assumes that you have "emacs" installed and in your path. The start-up is as follows: Mac: simply drag-to-install and click the application icon. Windows: run the setup executable and run one of the .bat files in the toplevel directory (or from Start menu if you have one) Linux: Unzip the .zip file, cd into the new directory, and ./run-gdl This should start emacs, Slime, and give you a GDL-USER> prompt. On Linux, we have had a report that the Slime tries to load ASDF. I'm not sure why this is, and I'm not able to replicate the issue on any Linux systems I have access to. So especially if anyone is able to replicate this ASDF loading error on the Linux version, it will be greatly appreciated (especially if you can see why it's trying to load asdf!) By the way, these distributions should work regardless of any other Lisp or Emacs configuration you currently have on your machine (and shouldn't interfere with them). Note that I still have to fix up the Quicklisp copyright statements in the startup banner for the included quicklisp libraries (this is done in the Linux distro but the other distros still have to be rebuilt with the proper statements). My plan is to make available a "stable" and "nightly" for each of these builds at all times. -- My Best, Dave Cooper, Genworks Support david.cooper(a)genworks.com, dave.genworks.com(skype) USA: 248-327-3253(o), 1-248-330-2979(mobile)

[Asdf-devel] (asdf:output-file 'asdf:monolithic-fasl-op ...) no longer working
by Dave Cooper 29 Jul '14

29 Jul '14

I'm not sure how much this matters because it's mostly a backward compatibility issue with something which is a relatively new feature anyway, but (asdf:output-file[s] 'asdf:monolithic-fasl-op ...) no longer works in 3.1.3 (at least on CCL/Linux). The new nomenclature is apparently: (asdf:output-file[s] 'asdf:monolithic-compile-bundle-op ...) is 'asdf:monolithic-compile-bundle-op indeed the exact replacement for 'asdf:monolithic-fasl-op? FWIW, (asdf:operate 'asdf:monolithic-fasl-op ...) still appears to work. I apologize for not running tests on my own stuff before the release of 3.1.3; I'll try to make a point of doing that for future releases. -- My Best, Dave Cooper, Genworks Support david.cooper(a)genworks.com, dave.genworks.com(skype) USA: 248-327-3253(o), 1-248-330-2979(mobile) UK: 0191 645 1699

[Asdf-devel] minimakefile branch
by Faré 29 Jul '14

29 Jul '14

I hadn't tested the minimakefile branch with quicklisp, so of course it wasn't working. Fixed. All you need to bootstrap the asdf-tools is a recent quicklisp (and possibly removing antique cl-ppcre packages from debian that might take precedence). I just realized that with quicklisp, asdf:load-system seems to load already-installed quicklisp packages, but not install new ones, for which you need ql:quickload. Xach, is that on purpose? —♯ƒ • François-René ÐVB Rideau •Reflection&Cybernethics• http://fare.tunes.org I'll start exercising as soon as I'm into shape.

[Asdf-devel] ASDF version 3.1.3 released: Important bug-fix release
by Robert P. Goldman 24 Jul '14

24 Jul '14

Today I have released (with much help from Fare) ASDF 3.1.3. We urge implementations that are currently shipping with 3.1.2 to move forward to 3.1.3. 3.1.3 has no API incompatibilities that we know of, and contains significant bug fixes. Most significantly, 3.1.3 fixes bugs that impede hot-upgrade from 3.1.2 to a later version of ASDF, which is critical to ASDF development. In addition, we have fixed multiple bugs in ASDF system search caching, that impeded correct use of restarts involving adding new systems to a running CL. Regards, Robert Goldman

[Asdf-devel] converting asdf build & test to Lisp
by Faré 10 Jul '14

10 Jul '14

My latest procrastination was to convert the ASDF Makefile and supporting build and test scripts to CL. On the one hand, the Makefile didn't translate into asdf secondary targets, like I expected: it's all regular CL functions, modulo some slightly elaborate calling conventions so that the appropriate functions can be called from the Makefile like before, as in: make t l=clisp t="test-utilities.script test-program.script" make bump-version v=4.0 etc. It's all in the minimakefile branch. Dave, can you test that branch on Windows? I'm particularly curious about LispWorks on Windows, since it's the implementation that has always given us the most trouble with argument passing on Windows; but other Windows implementations make me curious too: there is this elaborate compose-eval-string in tools/invoke-lisp.lisp that produces a string without space, single or double quote or backslash, that is hopefully suitable for passing to the worst implementations of Windows command-line parsers. The infrastructure now in asdf/tools/ could serve as the basic for a cross-implementation testing framework. I'm not interested in developing one, but those of you who deliver code on a lot of platforms might be. Death to shell scripts, long live Lisp scripts! —♯ƒ • François-René ÐVB Rideau •Reflection&Cybernethics• http://fare.tunes.org The rule is perfect: in all matters of opinion our adversaries are insane. — Mark Twain

[Asdf-devel] Partial fix for bug1335323
by Robert P. Goldman 09 Jul '14

09 Jul '14

I have just pushed to the topic branch a partial fix for this bug, and for the cache incorrectness I posted about yesterday. The cache incorrectness fix unpleasantly caused me to have to multiply the restarts, which makes the code ugly, and slops across cache.lisp and find-system.lisp, but I couldn't come up with a better solution. The test for refinding needs some refining: as soon as I get that done (it's more a matter of getting the test systems set up properly than actually fixing any more ASDF code. cheers, r

[Asdf-devel] asdf and dependencies
by Faré 09 Jul '14

09 Jul '14

Dear Kambiz, are you still interested in making a git repository with asdf + dependencies as modules? It would help development and make Robert more comfortable with the minimakefile branch. —♯ƒ • François-René ÐVB Rideau •Reflection&Cybernethics• http://fare.tunes.org Do not handicap your children by making their lives easy. — Robert Heinlein, "Time Enough For Love"
