[cl-debian] sbcl/amd64, anonymous repository read access and a yak

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.

This information is wrong. For some reason the control files are wrong. The archive is using bzr. You should do: bzr checkout http://cl-debian.alioth.debian.org/repository/pvaneynd/sbcl bzr checkout \ http://cl-debian.alioth.debian.org/repository/pvaneynd/sbcl-upstream Sorry about that. I've corrected the control file and will upload new versions soon.

these paths don't exist. When I include 'bzr-moved' as second last path component, it almost works: checkout complains that the repository is read only, so I tried branch instead of checkout (I'm new to bzr, so forgive me if I'm missing something), which worked. Compiling and installing on dapper/amd64 also worked like a charm after I compiled a current version of common-lisp-controller. The repository at http://people.debian.org/~pvaneynd/cl-dapper-packages contains clc version 6.9 according to the package index, but installation failed with 404 not found.
Sorry about that. I've corrected the control file and will upload new versions soon.
Great. Goodbyte, Gerd. -- The last thing one knows in constructing a work is what to put first. -- Blaise Pascal

Of course, sorry my error.

I've investigated my package maintenance scripts and discovered an error. I'm pushing an update as I write. Thanks for the report.
