If you were to move your work on uiop:run-program to a long-lived topic branch, I could test it on a wide variety of implementations on Mac and Linux.
Sure, that sounds good. I’ve requested an account on
https://gitlab.common-lisp.net
for this purpose.
Currently, my Windows-testing VM is out of commission, so I need to fix it, but at that point I could probably test there, as well.
Great!
My Windows box is now fixed. Sort of. But I really don't understand Windows, and have no desire to learn. I can run the tests, and check their results, but that's about the limit. I have no intention of fussing around with cmd.exe and the like...
Some time ago, Faré suggested that it might be worth replacing use of cmd.exe with powershell in UIOP/run-program.
I don't really know what powershell is, but I get the impression it's a shell that's less horrible than cmd.exe.
Best, r
