[cl-debian] Updates Slime debs
Hello, I've put online a Debian repository with updated Slime debs: deb http://debian.muvara.org/debian binary/ deb-src http://debian.muvara.org/debian source/ There are two packages: slime (latest stable release) and slime-cvs (CVS snapshot). I plan to make a separated cl-swank package, too, for servers without an emacs installation. The debs derive from the ones available at: http://commonwerx.org/software/contrib/slime/deb/ They're developed and built on Ubuntu Breezy (sorry, it's the only workstation I've got ATM). Can they be useful for the cl-debian project? Is there a link with information for potential contributors? Any suggestion is encouraged and appreciated :-) Regards, alceste -- Alceste Scalas <alceste@muvara.org>

Ok, sorry, it was easy: I've just stumbled upon http://cl-debian.alioth.debian.org/ Regards, alceste -- Alceste Scalas <alceste.scalas@gmx.net>

Fairly up-to-date slime packages are also in our Darcs repositories and at http://pvaneynd.blogspot.com/2005/08/sbcl-progress.html, as well as in Debian unstable/non-free. I should probably link Peter's p.d.o repository on the cl-debian main page.

Well, that splitting of slime and cl-swank for a distributed system sounds interesting (to me), like it is seen in one of the videos on common-lisp.net. You can probably send your changes to our Slime repository. :-) René

Ok, I must confess that I completely missed it and your *huge* work. Next time I will check more carefully before sending emails. I promise.

I worked on it, and I've just sent a patch to the maintainer (pvaneynd@debian.org). I can forward it here too, if needed. While making swank more common-lisp-controller-friendly, I've noticed that xref.lisp (the file that makes Slime non-free) is actually needed only when using GNU CLisp. I've tested Slime with cmucl and sbcl, and it seems to work fine even without that file. Maybe xref.lisp could be removed from Slime deb sources, thus dropping GNU CLisp support, but making the package free. Is it feasible? I can work on it and send a patch, if you think it's worth.

Now that is _very_ interesting. A kind of poetic justice that the _GNU_ lisp is affected :-). The other problem files: swank-ecl.lisp Could be removed too. The remainder is fluff, but the slime people should get their act together and put it under some license. ChangeLog (as this is a generated file it can be considered derivative of the others I assume) doc/Makefile HACKING NEWS PROBLEMS README So until they act for at least some of these files removing xref.lisp has little sense.
