Hello! I'm sorry for the delay in my answer... On Fri, 13 Jan 2006 00:59:34 +0100, Erick Ivaan Lopez Carreon wrote:
I am plaining to use UCW, and i saw some wnpp bugs from Luca related to this, so i dare to asking for UCW overall status??.
Basically, university/lab work are preventing me to finish the UCW debianization, and with that I mean also all the needed dependencies. For the record, as Marco stated here [1], UCW depends on the following packages, marked with a double quote (") if already present in Debian or with a quote (') if in the CL-Debian repository only. - " asdf - " iterate - " cl-ppcre - " slime [AFAIK the correct dependency should be to cl-swank] - ' arnesi_dev - ' yaclml - parenscript I started to debianize parenscript, but I was stucked in the documentation, because I'd like to convert it to qbook (like the other packages Marco develops). OTOH, I should update arnesi_dev (which I call simply "arnesi", because I don't provide the stable version) and yaclml need to be updated to a more recent checkout. Then, different packages are needed accordingly to the backends you prefer. I think that in this case we should use the Recommends: field instead of strict dependencies, because we cannot check for all the possible combinations. - " rfc2388 [but as now, a modified source is needed [2] ] - " puri - " mod-lisp - " araneida - " portable aserve And what about the different Lisp implementations [3]? - " clisp - " openmcl - " cmucl - " sbcl - " allegro - lispworks This is the situation: most of the packages are already debianized, I (or someone other that want to finish) need to put the last efforts in it. Moreover, I'd like to have a test-script to be sure that a fresh install of UCW (something like `apt-get install ucw-test`, with ucw-test depending on ucw) brings up a basic working system. This test-script could be then used by others on different archs, as ATM I own only an i386 :-( BTW, IIRC quite all the dependencies are ASDF-installable [4]. HTH!
