[cl-debian] UCW status, seeing the light at the end of the tunnel
by Luca Capello 11 Apr '06

11 Apr '06

Hello, even if the title is quite melodramatic, I should say that in the last 2 weeks I made a lot of progress in (better understanding and) packaging UCW for Debian. If someone wants to help, here a roadmap, with the remaining issues... Strictly speaking, to have a simply UCW server up and running you don't need the whole bunch of packages I reported in the past [1]. In fact, if you use the internal httpd backend, you don't need any external web server. ATM, the following packages are already present in Debian and can be used without modification (and with modifications I don't include upstream updates, but "strong" hacking). They are: - arnesi - yaclml - iterate - cl-ppcre - puri - split-sequence - parenscript (in the NEW queue, see bug #349607 [2]) Other packages are present in Debian, but...: - SLIME swank, which thank to Peter doesn't depends on the Emacs code, but I'm suffering of a strange bug [3] on systems without the common-lisp-controller. - rfc2388 needs to be synchronized with the BESE version, see posts at [4] and [5] for more info. - detachtty needs an upgrade, at least including bug #282641 [6], which is a better solution than bug #282640 [7]). Probably it needs also a new maintainer, as the bugs are really old. The last two packages are not present in Debian: - rfc2109 [8], I already started the packaging and I'm waiting an answer from the author for a small license clarification. - trivial-sockets [9], I'm waiting an answer from the upstream author, who turns out to be the same as detachtty and also a Debian maintainer. Moreover, I just finished to test a series of patches that render UCW highly configurable without touching the source code, starting the UCW server throught the cl-launch script [10], which is already packaged by its upstream author, but not present in Debian. That's all :-) Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca [1] http://common-lisp.net/pipermail/cl-debian/2006-January/000962.html [2] http://bugs.debian.org/349607 [3] http://common-lisp.net/pipermail/slime-devel/2006-March/004664.html [4] http://common-lisp.net/pipermail/bese-devel/2005-December/001373.html [5] http://common-lisp.net/pipermail/cl-debian/2006-February/001069.html [6] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=282641 [7] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=282640 [8] http://wwww.common-lisp.net/project/rfc2109/ [9] http://www.cliki.net/trivial-sockets [10] http://www.cliki.net/cl-launch

[cl-debian] Bug#359339: ITP: cl-trivial-sockets -- a Common Lisp socket interface
by Luca Capello 11 Apr '06

11 Apr '06

Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : cl-trivial-sockets Version : 0.3 Upstream Author : Daniel Barlow <dan(a)telent.net> * URL or Web page : http://www.cliki.net/trivial-sockets * License : see below Description : a Common Lisp socket interface trivial-sockets is a portable socket interface that allows Common Lisp programs to open connected (client) stream sockets to network service (for example HTTP, FTP or SMTP servers) and communicate with them. It's intended mostly for "scripting" and interactive use. . Note that in the interests of simplicity and ease of porting, the functionality available through TRIVIAL-SOCKETS has been deliberately restricted. ==== Here is the license: Copyright (c) 2004 Daniel Barlow and contributors Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the ``Software''), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.

I cc:ed him and I'll wait a month before asking for my sponsor to uploading the package. This is necessary as dependency for UCW [1]. The package will be included in the CL-Debian repository [2] and will follow the "Common Lisp in Debian Manual" [3].
