[cells-devel] which is the correct cells distro?
Hello group, Before diving into cells, I want to make sure I have the latest stable release. I will run cells on sbcl & clisp to control the flow of some numerical calculations (I am really not interested in GTK right now). I have downloaded cells2.0 from cliki. On the mailing list, I see another branch mentioned (Ramarren). I gather that as long as I don't care about GTK, that should not be an issue. Am I correct in using cliki's cells2.0? Thank you, Mirko

No, that is ancient and if anyone has access to that wiki please zap that and replace it with a link to the common-lisp.net tarball (link at bottom of page): http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/?root=cells cheers, ken ps. The Cells component inside Ramarren's branch...hmmm, that might not even be Cells4, oretty sure cells-gtk is still cells3. pps. Starting to think about moving Cells, celtk, and Cello to github or the other gitter I see out there. Watch this space.

As far as I can tell cells 2.0 is not linked from cliki, although it is from the homepage. In any case, it is really old. The latest original version is in CVS and is marked as 3.0. I believe it has improved data integrity for certain cases (well, according to http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.lisp/msg/c0afdb359ffed6a7 in this case "has improved" means "adds" but supposedly it usually works anyway).
On the mailing list, I see another branch mentioned (Ramarren). I gather that as long as I don't care about GTK, that should not be an issue.
My branch of Cells themselves is just a number of cosmetic fixes for Cells 3.0 (well, as it is in CVS it doesn't work on anything except Lispworks, but those are cosmetic-level changes anyway). The commit list is here: http://github.com/Ramarren/cells/commits/master , mostly it make SBCL emit less warnings and improves support for other implementations. Regards, Jakub Higersberger

Ah, 3 added integrity? Well, when I added it I did it all in one go, so it should be pretty solid on those edge cases that broke 2. Not sure what 4 added, then. maybe the flattening of recursion into a fifo queue of changes? Yes, 2 worked for an incredibly long time, but it does have a hole closed by 3 so who needs the uncertainty? kt

I didn't even know that there was Cells4. Is it published anywhere? Or is it in common-lisp.net CVS and the version change is just not mentioned anywhere? I can definitely see that the branch I based on uses a fifo queue for something. The last commit is from October 2008. Jakub Higersberger

Hmm, there may not be. Anyway, c-l.net is current. kt Is it published anywhere? Or

Thanks to all that replied. I downloaded and installed the version from http://github.com/Ramarren/cells on clisp 2.-47 on cygwin. The one on common-lisp.net depended on Allegro's excl package - so it was a no-go for me. Mirko On Fri, Mar 26, 2010 at 1:45 PM, Mirko Vukovic <mirko.vukovic@gmail.com> wrote:

That would have been something you could just remove, tho I understand not wanting to guess at that. kt
