[cl-debian] cl-launch in debian
Dear all, I have a cl-launch 1.83 ready on my computer, that should close a current Debian bug in 1.80 as well as add ECL support. However, I'm not sure what to add in the Uploaders: field of the control file. Certainly, I need to put something since I'm not a Debian Developer (should I apply?). Will some kind DDs step up and accept to be official uploaders? Until you do, I will refrain from publishing a debian package. NB: cl-launch 1.83 is on its usual URL at http://fare.tunes.org/files/cl-launch/ but an up-to-date debian package is missing pending clarification. Thanks a lot for the efforts you put in cl-debian!

Dear all,, I have a cl-launch 1.84 in http://fare.tunes.org/files/cl-launch/ ECL is now fully supported, including for image-dumping (with ugly kluges). But until the ECL debian package is fixed to use ECL's asdf and to not mess up with *load-verbose*, you need to export ECL=/usr/lib/ecl/ecl-original for cl-launch to work properly. Also a few minor bugs were fixed, including some debian issues since previous debian package 1.80. I assumed Rene and Peter were my Uploaders. If not, the control file should be changed appropriately by my mysterious mentor to reveal himself.

I'm glad to announce cl-launch 1.86, which I'm sad to say fixes brown bag bugs (most importantly including command-line arguments not being recomputed anymore when using dumped images), and revises its claim of complete support for image-dumping with ECL (see discussion on the ECL mailing-list). An important new feature is a more complete automated test coverage, that now includes image-dumping in the tested combinations -- this allowed me to catch all the above bugs and more. In other news, I revived the limited support for gcl 2.6 (no asdf, no image dumping). The gcl 2.7 in debian is hosed on too many levels for me to try do anything more about it. As usual, the relevant files are available on http://fare.tunes.org/files/cl-launch/ Peter Van Eynde wrote:
The package looks good, I had 5 minutes so I rebuild and uploaded it. It was actually quite buggy. 1.86 shall improve on the quality with its more complete integrated regression test suite. And so I feel entitled to stealing 5 more of your minutes.
I thought it was using ECL's asdf. Could you open wishlist bugs against ECL so I don't forget to fix this? I did, and offered several solutions to this problem. However, I realized that ECL's c::builder also had problems with pathnames and with libraries, making it unsuitable as is for use by cl-launch. The ECL guys don't seem to care enough to fix it, and frankly neither do I. Sigh.

Boe! :-)
Whoa, what a surprise. You scared me!
