Hello subscribers of cl-debian and friends, Let me start by saying that I never expected to have so many people on this list. This is a pleasant surprise. I'm willing to sponsor anybody wrt. uploads and to help in packaging and general maintainer stuff. So what needs to be done for Common Lisp on Debian? First of all some packages from Kevin are still open (see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/pkgreport.cgi?submitter=kmr%40debian.org): 1 #284376: O: ilisp -- Emacs interface to LISP implementations -> Some emacs experience is needed. This is more or less a morbid package. 2 #297344: O: acl- installer -- Installer for Franz' Allegro 6.2 Lisp Trial Edition -> interest in ACL is needed, should not be to difficult 3 #297346: O: albert 4 #297426: O: langband - The langband Common lisp game 5 #297427: O: langband-data -- The Langband sound/image/etc files for langband engine -> both should be simple CL packages 6 #297429: O: lw-per-installer -- Installer for Lispworks ANSI Common Lisp System, Personal Edition 7 #297431: O: lw-pro-installer - Installer for Xanalys' Lispworks ANSI Common Lisp System 8 #297432: O: lw-pro-installer-43 -- Installer for Xanalys Lispworks Common Lisp System, version 4.3 -> a LWL licence or at least interest in LWL is required for this. 9 #297473: O: openmcl - Native code ANSI Common Lisp compiler and runtime environment 10 #297475: O: openmcl-build-tools - OpenMCL Common Lisp tools for building system -> you better have a Mac to adopt these I still need to close: #297382: O: cl-postoffice - SMTP, POP, & IMAP interface library for Common Lisp Programs #297395: O: cl-rsm-memo -- McIntire's Common Lisp Memoization Library #297398: O: cl-rsm-mpoly -- McIntire's Common Lisp Multivariate Polynomial Library #297436: O: onlisp - book on Common Lisp programming techniques I'm also working on splitting sbcl into a indep and a arch part, but this is rather complex and will require a bit more time to get it to work. I also closed a cl-postoffice bug and I need to fix the hyperspec package (bug #298026). Looking at my bug page (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/pkgreport.cgi?which=maint&data=pvaneynd@debian.org&archive=no) the situation is rather good, most bugs are upstream or features ;-). There is one mystery bug #297801 that I cannot reproduce, has anyone an idea to fix this? Following my blogentry many people showed interest in the following new packages: - cl-s-xml (Luca was working on this): packaged but should become a 'native' package - slime: a long time coming but no progress? - elephant: an object database for Common Lisp - CL-PREVALENCE is an implementation of Object Prevalence for Common Lisp - UnCommon Web is a Common Lisp web application development framework. - cl-snmp: A System Management Substrate for Common Lisp - Common Lisp GNU Scientific Library: we could already start in packaging it knowing it is not ready for primetime yet - AspectL is a library that provides aspect-oriented extensions for Common Lisp / CLOS Any other ideas? Normal asdf based libraries should be _very_ simple to package up. The main work in checking the copyright; seeing if we can have a native package; if the version number should reflect a 'released' package (aka 2.1) or a cvs-date (cvs-20050304) package; and general integration with the rest of debian. For a simple example see the cl-cil package. Groetjes, Peter -- Peter Van Eynde Peter.Van.Eynde@web.de

there is talk on slime-devel about a 1.1 release towards the end of march. getting a release out before april (seibel's book's release date) would be a Very Good Thing(TM).
- elephant: an object database for Common Lisp - CL-PREVALENCE is an implementation of Object Prevalence for Common Lisp - UnCommon Web is a Common Lisp web application development framework.
i might be able to help with this :). I'd like to make UCW be a native debian package (that would make it easy to put into fink right?).
Any other ideas?
i thought araneida was already in debian, but packages.debian.org didn't seem to find it.

And here the direct link to the discussion on the slime-devel [1]. It seems that ATM there're two different Debian packages.
- UnCommon Web is a Common Lisp web application development framework.

Marco, if you agree, I can try to debianize UCW (you know we've some testers ;-) ). Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca [1] http://common-lisp.net/pipermail/slime-devel/2005-February/003092.html

Thanks, Peter :-D
Following my blogentry many people showed interest in the following new packages:
- cl-s-xml (Luca was working on this): packaged but should become a 'native' package
As Peter stated, the package is ready and working, but I haven't had time to submit the 'native' patch yet.
Any other ideas?
Yes, I packaged also 'cl-gtk' [1], that together with 'cl-s-xml' is required in a project I'm working at with some friends. Peter, should I submit an ITP? Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca [1] http://www.cliki.net/cl-gtk

Well, what do you expect? We lurk arround until someone anounces a Lisp meeting or a Deb-CL mailing list ... ;-) Thank's for setting things up.

9 #297473: O: openmcl - Native code ANSI Common Lisp compiler and runtime environment 10 #297475: O: openmcl-build-tools - OpenMCL Common Lisp tools for building system -> you better have a Mac to adopt these
I have one :-) And i did bug Kevin about recent build-from-source problems. I currently have both the latest official version as well as a CVS checkout which i debianize - so i could come up with a .deb of a brand new OpenMCL. So if you need help with OpenMCL (or a maintainer, but i'm not currently an official maintainer) i could jump in. I _have_ done a lot of .deb building.

Iff you/we do this: may i propose that UCW is split up into several sub-packages. A lot of the components (which already have seperate ASDF- files) can be used on their own.
- cl-snmp: A System Management Substrate for Common Lisp - Common Lisp GNU Scientific Library: we could already start in packaging it knowing it is not ready for primetime yet - AspectL is a library that provides aspect-oriented extensions for Common Lisp / CLOS

Normal asdf based libraries should be _very_ simple to package up. The main work in checking the copyright; seeing if we can have a native package; if the version number should reflect a 'released' package (aka 2.1) or a cvs-date (cvs-20050304) package; and general integration with the rest of debian.
Anyone want's to hack on a ASDF-Debianize component?
For a simple example see the cl-cil package.
Groetjes, Peter
Ah, does that5 ean you'll be in Amsterdam? cheers Ralf Mattes

This is exactly what I'm doing in preparing the UCW Debian package: the components like arnesi, yaclml, iterate, mod_lisp and rfc2388 should be separate packages ;-) Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca
