It attempts to be highly customizable while relying entirely on the keyboard for input. You will not find buttons, icons, title bars, tool bars, or any of the other conventional GUI widgets. >From "StumpWM is a window manager written entirely in Common Lisp" it suggests, that is is just another window manager only that the host language is common lisp. Something is not connecting here. - Aa per you explanation, the the sescription string should differentiate stumpwm from the other regular "window managers" by saing that this one is for only people that understand how to use it with common lisp. Without this, the "joe", like me, expects after download to read /ysr/share/doc/<package>/README.* files in order to see what steps are needed to make the <program> work unless it's setting itself up initially at install. | I'm not inclined to add specific information about how to start | StumpWM to the README.Debian, as the upstream README is quite | self-explanatory.

[cl-debian] Bug#382430: c-l-c installation of ecl does things wrong
by "Faré" 03 Oct '07

03 Oct '07

Package: ecl Version: 0.9i-2 Severity: normal the c-l-c installation of ecl does a few wrong things: (1) it uses the c-l-c version of asdf and not the ecl-provided one from /usr/lib/ecl/asdf.fas as a result it fails to include the make-build extension from ECL sources ecl-0.9i/contrib/asdf/asdf-ecl.lisp Solution (a) would be to (require 'asdf) from the c-l-c compiled image and not compile it in the c-l-c binary for ecl. Solution (b) would be to include asdf-ecl.lisp in the ecl package, and recompile it together with c-l-c's asdf.lisp when installing c-l-c. (2) it somehow gets cmp.fas and sysfun.lsp to systematically load verbosely in a way that isn't hushed up by flag -q resulting in an unremovable banner ;;; Loading #P"/usr/lib/ecl/cmp.fas" ;;; Loading #P"/usr/lib/ecl/sysfun.lsp" which is quite annoying for programs that need produce controlled output. This is probably caused by the runtime loading of /etc/lispconfig.lisp by c-l-c. This banner should not be printed by quiet ecl scripts. Solution (2a) is to explicitly bind *load-verbose* to nil when loading /etc/lispconfig.lisp. Solution (2b) is to modify the c-l-c ecl startup to somehow hook the value of *load-verbose* on the -q flag. However, this requires modifying or overriding code from ecl-0.9i/src/lsp/cmdline.lsp and maintaining the result. Ouch. Solution (2c) is to hook into ecl's loading of a user resource file and replace it with the loading of a system resource file, say /etc/ecl/rc.lisp that in turn loads /etc/lispconfig.lisp then the user resource file. We would just prepend that path to *lisp-init-file-list* from install-clc.lisp, and writing the proper default code in /etc/ecl/rc.lisp Thus the usual parsing of -q and -norc applies to clc's ecl. (3) compiling configuration files everytime can be a performance issue, in addition to requiring to load the compiler. We could instead have a mechanism such as cl-launch's compile-and-load-file to only recompile when needed (SLIME's doesn't try hard enough for ECL), and put c-l-c cached .fas variants of the files in *lisp-init-file-list* before the source variants. Also, we want it to not require users to do anything special for the fasl to remain in synch with their lisp configuration. Any hackish code should come precompiled as part of install-clc.lisp so as to avoid requiring costly recompilation at runtime when things change. Solution (3a) would be to only do that for the system-wide file, and have that system-wide file include provisions for recompiling itself and then loading the compiled contents, and do the same for lispconfig.lisp and user files. A bit of a hack. Solution (3b) would be to modify or override cmdline.lsp to do the compile-and-load instead of load. Costly to maintain. (4) If we use a compile-and-load-file strategy for (3), then we might share code with cl-launch. This would mean having a dependency on cl-launch. It also means I should change cl-launch to install its file in /usr/share/common-lisp/source/cl-launch instead of /usr/share/common-lisp/cl-launch and produce a cl-launch.asd. I'll do that for cl-launch 1.85. In any cases, problems (1) and (2) both interact badly with cl-launch, and although cl-launch 1.84 now fully supports ECL, debian users need export ECL=/usr/lib/ecl/ecl-original so as to use cl-launch with ECL. I should probably include detection of that executable in cl-launch as a workaround to current breakage, since I already kluge a lot of my way to supporting ECL in cl-launch. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16.9-blefuscu Locale: LANG=en_US.iso-8859-1, LC_CTYPE=en_US.iso-8859-1 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) (ignored: LC_ALL set to e n_US.iso-8859-1) Versions of packages ecl depends on: ii common-lisp-controller 6.1 This is a Common Lisp source and c ii gcc-4.1 4.1.1-9 The GNU C compiler ii libc6 2.3.6-16 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgc-dev 1:6.7-2 conservative garbage collector for ii libgc1c2 1:6.7-2 conservative garbage collector for ii libgmp3-dev 2:4.2.1+dfsg-3 Multiprecision arithmetic library ii libgmp3c2 2:4.2.1+dfsg-3 Multiprecision arithmetic library ii libncurses5-dev 5.5-2 Developer's libraries and docs for ecl recommends no packages. -- no debconf information

[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).
