GitLab CI transient failures
by Robert Goldman 01 Jul '25

01 Jul '25

I really have no idea why this is happening, but on the ITERATE GitLab repo, I am getting those `shell not found` errors again. And what's really weird is that this is transient. After a failure I can re-run the tests and sometimes they will pass. This is all quite confusing. In the past, I have seen internet posts suggesting an issue with the GitLab conf that can be fixed by resetting the entry for the shell, which apparently tries to guess what shell to use based on the image. I don't see how that's compatible with this failure being transient, though. Best, R

Hi there, I have some patches to improve iterate's variable capture problem (issue #26), but I cannot create a fork to work on a merge request. The error is "Limit reached You cannot create projects in your personal namespace. Contact your GitLab administrator.” Can someone help? Thanks! Best, @kchanqvq

Re: I would like to contribute to the "SBCL Docker Images" project (gitlab.common-lisp.net/cl-docker-images/sbcl)

Hi, I'm sorry to say that I have no idea how you can get access to that project: it's on GitHub, not on our common-lisp.net GitLab. You'll need to contact the owners of the GitHub project to get access, I'm afraid. Maybe someone on the mailing list knows how to help you with your request. Regards, Erik.

Issue with build from merge request on gitlab.common-lisp.net
by Robert Goldman 03 Apr '25

03 Apr '25

For ASDF, I have a CI workflow that builds the documentation. This build fails on a merge request from another user. Here's the job: https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/NicoSimoski/asdf/-/jobs/89084 Here's the relevant error message: ``` Getting source from Git repository 00:01 Fetching changes... Initialized empty Git repository in /builds/NicoSimoski/asdf/.git/ Created fresh repository. fatal: unable to access 'https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/NicoSimoski/asdf.git/': The requested URL returned error: 500 ``` Any idea why this would be happening? Seems like the runner can't get at this fork, even though it's public. I don't have any difficulty seeing https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/NicoSimoski/asdf Is this something about GitLab runner permissions? Or does his fork need to have GitLab actions enabled? Thanks for any advice

TeX missing?
by Raymond Toy 31 Mar '25

31 Mar '25

I’m a bit confused here. According to this pipeline that was run on a branch <https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/cmucl/cmucl.common-lisp.dev/-/jobs/82062>, TeX is installed because I could build the cmucl docs which uses TeX to generate the pdf version. However, the pipeline on the master branch <https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/cmucl/cmucl.common-lisp.dev/-/jobs/82068> says TeX isn’t installed. And indeed when I ssh to gitlab.common-lisp.net, I can’t find latex, texi2dvi or any of the usual TeX binaries anywhere. Could I have TeX installed, please, if it’s not actually installed somewhere? -- Ray

The FAQ and Trac and other stuff
by Raymond Toy 13 Mar '25

13 Mar '25

Since there was a discussion about rsync and stuff, I looked at the Project Hosting <https://common-lisp.net/project-intro>, there’s a mention about Trac. I thought Trac was basically not available anymore except the instance is still running for old projects that had it. Mostly for historical reasons. I am grateful that Trac is still running because I have had to look back on some old cmucl Trac tickets to understand some changes. I also found the new page about CI for CL <https://common-lisp.net/faq/using-gitlab-ci-for-cl>. That looks pretty cool. I would certainly be interested to see the scripts. And the last sentence on that page is missing some links or something: For more information, please make sure to read and .

rsync support
by Carl Shapiro 12 Mar '25

12 Mar '25

Dear common-lisp.net administrators, We had been relying on rsync to transfer artifacts for the cmucl.org website from common-lisp.net. The script, which did this periodically rsync -aqvz rsync://common-lisp.net/project/cmucl/downloads/ . now times out. I tried referencing the host gitlab.common-lisp.net but that seems to have no effect. Is there a new host I should? Kindly, Carl

cmucl project directory 404
by Raymond Toy 05 Mar '25

I can’t seem to reach https://common-lisp.net/project/cmucl anymore. I could yesterday. In fact, it seems like perhaps all the project directories are unreachable, but I only tried a few at random.

GraphQL error: Field 'troubleshootJobWithAi' doesn't exist on type 'Pipeline'
by Raymond Toy 17 Feb '25

17 Feb '25

Look at this pipeline <https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/cmucl/cmucl/-/merge_requests/265/pipelines>. Part way down, there appears an expand button with the label "Failed jobs". This seems new. Anyway, I clicked the button and I get the GraphQL error in the subject line. I guess this new thing (?) isn't working quite right. But I probably don't need AI to tell me what I screwed up in the CI job. :-) At least in this pipeline.

Fwd: asdf-devel@common-lisp.net post from monacoandrea94@gmail.com requires approval

I received the following overnight. However, when I logged into the Postorious site, there were no held messages for me to release. Not only were there no messages to release, this message seems to have been discarded, since I never received a copy of it from the mailing list. Any chance this is related to the recent discussion of spam filtering?
