Hi Peter, nice idea to set up this repository. Here some more comments on my recent sbcl on PPC/Linux experiences: - First of all, good idea to dissable running the tests during a package build. This was one _major_ showstopper. From some talk om #lisp i got the impression that these tests are meant more as checks for the developers rather than confirmations of a successfull build (too bad, such a test would be fine). [1] Hmm, in my local setup i wasn't so radical as to disable the tests, i just prepended the invocation of run-tests.sh with a '-' in the rules file (so a failing test wouldn't stop the build). - there's another bug lurking in the build: your rukes-file invokes sbcl using the -noprogrammer switch. According to the NEWS file: * incompatible change: the --noprogrammer option, deprecated since version 0.7.5, has been removed. Please use the equivalent --disable-debugger option instead. The ugly part of this: sbcl will _not_ emit any warnings about an unknown switch ... but will drop into the debugger on the first error encountered. Not too much fun for an authomated build :-/ - As for the unicode/Locale issue: your rule-file silently assumes that en_US.UTF-8 is available on the build host (which _might_ be true for the official build daemons but not for private setups that use apt-build). I've gone the long way of following the suggestions in the Debian package maintainer manual. I'll prepare a patch against your new sources if you want me to. Cheers RalfD and thanks for all that work! [1] See for example my conversation with Juho Snellman and trentbuck at http://meme.b9.com/cview.html?channel=lisp&date=050505, starting at 00:45:07 (yes, debugging sbcl eats a lot of time ;)
