Ok, that makes sense -- i'll file a bug report against the Debian apckages then. Thanks, Ralf Mattes

[cl-debian] Vhanges in bit-bash.lisp
by R. Mattes 12 May '05

12 May '05

Hello list(s), between version 1.17 and 1.18 of the file src/code/bit-bash.lisp the functions copy-to-system-area et al. got removed. Since these functions are used in some libraries distributed as Debian (source) packages i'd like to ask for some advice on how to hide these chages. Ideally these libraries should run both under sbcl 0.8.n as well as sbcl 0.9.n. What would be the preferred way to detect the availability of these functions? BTW, is there a place in the sources where such changes are documented (something like a ChangeLog)? Upgrading my systems without knowing a priory where to expect problems sometimes quickly degrades into trial-and-error ... :-) There seem to be changes/deprecations listed in the NEWS file. Is this the place to check (if so, maybe someone should add the bit-bash changes to the NEWS file). Thanks for all the work Ralf Mattes

[cl-debian] cl packages repository

To keep the momentum in the cl packages during the freeze I created a apt-getables repository. Add deb http://people.debian.org/~pvaneynd/cl-packages ./ to /etc/apt/sources.list to get updates Common Lisp packages. Groetjes, Peter

[cl-debian] status of slime package?
by Peter Van Eynde 25 Apr '05

25 Apr '05

Hello, Yesterday at the European Common Lisp Meeting yesterday it was pretty clear that the slime system has slowed in development and the need for a debian package has become rather urgent. So what is the status of this? I see packages at http://commonwerx.org/software/contrib/slime/deb/ from 16/1/2005. Could we just update and upload them? Does Sean want to be the maintainer? I don't want to be pushy, but I don't understand where the hold-up is ;-) Groetjes, Peter

The new sbcl got into unstable, the extra people for ftp duty seem to help :-). I think I will need to work with UCW in the near future, I guess nobody packaged it (or some other package) yet?

[cl-debian] cl-postoffice

Hi, I have been hacking a little bit on the postoffice package, and not make it work on the courier-imap server, I had to add something to the imap.lisp file. Is this a good place to post this? -- Knut Olav Bøhmer

[cl-debian] Welcome to cl-debian
by Peter Van Eynde 29 Mar '05

29 Mar '05

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(a)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(a)web.de
