[Clo-devel] Common-lisp.net
by Nikodemus Siivola 19 Aug '03

19 Aug '03

As seen on cll: "It is a pleasure to announce http://common-lisp.net, a web-site dedicated to providing the Common Lisp community with development resources, including CVS, FTP, mailing lists, and web-space. Future plans include Subversion and Arch support, co-operation with other related projects, plus news and articles (authors are welcome!)." CCLAN is definitely a project we (Common-lisp.net) would like to co-operate with. Possibilities include: * CCLAN node at ftp://ftp.common-lisp.net/pub/cclan/ * Semi-automatic inclusion of projects hosted at Common-lisp.net to CCLAN: hosted projects fullfilling CCLAN requirements would be provided a mechanism for making releases into CCLAN without human intervention (or whatever amount of human intervention is considered necessary for safety). The first is probably a relatively simple matter, but the second would require among other things a common aproach to project names. Before boring everyone with my own thoughts on this I'd like to hear if CCLAN folks consider either option in the least viable. [ Note: Let's keep this discussion on cclan-list, and drop clo-devel from CC. People on clo-devel interested in this should subscribe to cclan-list for the duration. ] Cheers, -- Nikodemus

[Clo-devel] predicting the need for more tables on the webpage
by Erik Enge 18 Aug '03

18 Aug '03

I think we need two more tables (boxes is probably a better word) in the very near future: one for news items ("just set up anoncvs; server upgrade at 12:00", etc.) and one for articles ("how to use albert with your .asd file; unit test framework study", etc.). What do you think about it? Would they fit with our current layout? I think these need to be on the front page, but not necessarily on any other page. Erik.

[Clo-devel] viewcvs

What do you guys think of this?: http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/ Projects can link to it by doing: http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/?cvsroot=rfc2822 Thought? Personally I think this is probably yet another thing we could offer to developers. Erik.

Just plain text that can be copied to an email is fine. I've attached a proposal for such a form. Cheers, -- Nikodemus

[Clo-devel] ftp
by nikodemus＠random-state.net 13 Aug '03

I noticed that currently project FTP directories end up as: ftp://ftp.common-lisp.net/pub/<foo> I propose that we put them under ftp://ftp.common-lisp.net/pub/project/<foo> instead. This provides a nice symmetry with the web addresses, and allows for some future hierech to take place if we so desire. Likewise I propose that we put freely distributable stuff in either ftp://ftp.common-lisp.net/pub/misc/ Or replace misc with software, free, etc. Cheers, -- Nikodemus
