Hi, and the next thing you know, you're at the zoo, shaving a yak[1]. At least, almost. I wanted a recent version of sbcl on my server running dapper and remembered pvaneynd's repository[2]. However, it does not contain amd64 binaries. No problem, I think, let's compile from source. No Sources file, though. Next step, try to find the repository. According to the cl-debian project page[3], it's accessible with darcs get http://cl-debian.alioth.debian.org/repository/pvaneynd/sbcl which it isn't, so I notice Vcs-Svn: http://cl-debian.alioth.debian.org/repository/pvaneynd/bzr-moved/sbcl/ in the output of 'apt-cache showsrc sbcl' on Debian sid. However, still no luck: % svn co http://cl-debian.alioth.debian.org/repository/pvaneynd/bzr-moved/sbcl svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/repository/pvaneynd/bzr-moved/sbcl' svn: PROPFIND of '/repository/pvaneynd/bzr-moved/sbcl': 301 Moved Permanently (http://cl-debian.alioth.debian.org) Ok, let's try that: % svn co http://cl-debian.alioth.debian.org/ svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/' svn: PROPFIND of '/': 405 Method Not Allowed (http:°cl-debian.alioth.debian.org) Ok, it seems I've gotten near the yak, but those metal bars are quite solid. I could use some help now. Goodbyte, Gerd.
