[cl-debian] Bug#384697: cl-launch: need to modify script variables without touching the script
by Luca Capello 20 Oct '06

20 Oct '06

Package: cl-launch Version: 1.85-1 Severity: wishlist Hello, the background of this wishlist can be found on bug #384071 [1], I created a new bug because I think the discussion was becoming specific to CL-Launch and no more to StumpWM. BTW, Xavier, I Cc:ed you because you were deeply involved in the discussion, I hope you don't mind :-) On Thu, 24 Aug 2006 00:53:17 +0200, Xavier Maillard wrote: >> Moreover, I think we need to find a common way to specify cl-launch >> files.

I'm aware of this, but the main problem here is the following. At package building time, I create the /usr/bin/stumpwm script with cl-launch --output ./stumpwm --lisp "sbcl clisp" \ --system stumpwm --init '(stumpwm:stumpwm ":0")' But with this solution, as the StumpWM maintainer I'm giving a preference to SBCL (because it's the first in the list). As by the Debian Policy not the administrator neither the end-user have the rights to modify files in /usr, but only in /etc (because only modifications done in the latter are preserved during package upgrades), if someone wants to start StumpWM through CMUCL needs to copy /usr/bin/stumpwm somewhere and modify the $LISPS variable. Thus, I think we need to find a general and user-specific solution: something like a /etc/cl-launchrc and ~/.cl-launchrc files, where for every CL-Launch binary script (e.g. /usr/bin/stumpwm) one can override variables (especially $LISPS). Thus, any maintainer that wants to provide CL-Launch binary scripts could specify every supported Common Lisp implementation, then the administrator or the end-user can adjust to his needs. Obviously, someone may prefer to copy /usr/bin/stumpwm into ~/bin, but I'm not for "polluting" $HOME with multiple copies of /usr/bin/ files which differ only for a line (yes, I'm a bit paranoid).

[cl-debian] Bug#394223: ITP: cl-cffi -- The Common Foreign Function Interface for Common Lisp
by Peter Van Eynde 19 Oct '06

19 Oct '06

Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Peter Van Eynde <pvaneynd(a)debian.org> * Package name : cl-cffi Version : 20061013 Upstream Author : James Bielman * URL : http://common-lisp.net/project/cffi/ * License : BSD Programming Lang: Common Lisp Description : The Common Foreign Function Interface for Common Lisp CFFI, the Common Foreign Function Interface, purports to be a portable foreign function interface for Common Lisp. The CFFI library is composed of a Lisp-implementation-specific backend in the CFFI-SYS package, and a portable frontend in the CFFI package. . The CFFI-SYS backend package defines a low-level interface to the native FFI support in the Lisp implementation. It offers operators for allocating and dereferencing foreign memory, calling foreign functions, and loading shared libraries. The CFFI frontend provides a declarative interface for defining foreign functions, structures, typedefs, enumerated types. It is implemented in portable ANSI CL making use of the low-level operators exported by CFFI-SYS. . A UFFI compatibility layer is also being developed. .

As originally discussed with Ingvar, I have now made the reference implementation part of the CDR page itself. (This means if there will be changes to the reference implementation, we will have to update the one on the CDR page as well. We won't do this automatically, but need to be informed about this...)
