ASDF project CI/CD failure
by Robert Goldman 13 Nov '25

13 Nov '25

I was looking at a merge request for ASDF, and it failed all the CI/CD tests. See, for example, https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/rbrown/asdf/-/jobs/103352 What's odd is that it looks like this failure isn't about anything failing, it's about CI/CD not being able to clone the git repo. ``` Getting source from Git repository 00:00 Gitaly correlation ID: 01K9DE5HXE6N8KDGC4YQ4ERFSV Fetching changes... Initialized empty Git repository in /builds/rbrown/asdf/.git/ Created fresh repository. fatal: unable to access 'https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/rbrown/asdf.git/': The requested URL returned error: 500 ``` Any idea what is going haywire here? Thanks! R

Cliki Maintenance
by David Cooper 09 Nov '25

09 Nov '25

Hi Vladimir, Long time no talk, i hope this finds you well. Hey would you be able to spare a bit of attention to see what it would take to make cliki.net run robustly on our new common-lisp.net host? The instance officially behind cliki.net is currently installed on the legacy host but often falls over (apparently on bad input data) and does not restart automatically. In the process of migrating the live cliki.net instance to our new host, and maybe wrapping with auto restarts, I'd like to make sure it's upgraded to a latest host CL engine, as well as a recent supported Cliki version. But I need some hand-holding to start even with the first part of what I just said. If it would be most convenient, I could give you needed access on both hosts so you can get the lay of the land. Or we can do a real time shared screen session and poke around together to see what builds need to be replicated and ensure the CI behind those. Thanks for Cliki so far and please reply as per your convenience, Dave Cooper dcooper or gendl on libera.chat in #common-lisp.net

rsync for clnet
by David Cooper 09 Nov '25

09 Nov '25

Hi Carl, Long time no talk.I hope you're doing well. Would you care to help me to install rsync on common-lisp.net and configure it in such a manner to mimic its old configuration on legacy.common-lisp.net ( if you remember that or could reconstruct it or we could dredge it up since the machine is still up and running but apparently the rsync service is no longer working there either? Anyhoo, hope this found you well, please reply as per your convenience. Dave Cooper dcooper or gendl on libera.chat in #common-lisp.net

Re: OT, but... is cliki.net down?

The problem isn't whether it runs on the new or the old host; the problem is that there is input which throws it over. As long as that input isn't sanitized from disk or the web, cliki will keep falling over. As in: this time the problem isn't related to the old host, instead it's related to the fact that something or someone is generating incorrect input or requesting pages with incorrect history. I just found the sbcl process in ldb: element a: validity error : ID active already defined <h2><a name="active">Somewhat Active</a></h2> ^ HTML parser error : Unexpected end tag : i <li><a href="http://obfuscatedcode.blogspot.com/">Denis Bueno</a></i> ^ HTML parser error : Unexpected end tag : i <li><a href="http://badbyteblues.blogspot.com/">John Connors</a></i> ^ element a: validity error : ID active already defined <h2><a name="active">Active in a Geological Timescale/Moribund/Dead</a></h2> ^ Heap exhausted during garbage collection: 32 bytes available, 48 requested.

Mirroring Support
by David Cooper 21 Sep '25

21 Sep '25

In followup to a recent email which may or may not have made it through due to data limits in our mailer, Here is a new public repo around Mirroring support, whose README contains the basic steps of setting up a new mirror sourced at our gitlab and targeted elsewhere e.g. github: https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/clo/mirroring/-/tree/main Comments/contribs welcome.

Need a new Account-Request email address set up at common-lisp.net
by David Cooper 18 Sep '25

18 Sep '25

Dear All, As I'm still unfamiliar with the common-lisp.net MX handling which is still running on the legacy host: How can we set up a ` mailto:account-request@common-lisp.net ` address which will forward mail received to a designated list of us (I'll volunteer to be on that list) who may approve/deny new account requests? See our new Signin/Signup page: https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/users/sign_in?redirect_to_referer=yes It already contains mailto:account-request@common-lisp.net as the target email for requesting accounts. Currently any mail sent to that address is bouncing. Thanks, Dave P.S. Erik H - you mentioned "future sending mail through legacy" - could you elaborate on that, please?

Trouble is... I don't have one! Obviously I could do so on my own machine, but I'm about to lose my home internet, and I don't know where the Lisp cloud is. Would it be possible to use some hosting space from any of your resources? I did check out Gitlab but couldn't find any Lisp servers. I can check with the openMusic team itself but am skeptical about the ANSI compliance of their CL implementation. Actually, the CL-WAV-Synth project on your site would be a great starting point, but it doesn't look like anybody's worked on that in about 18 years. A few megabytes of web space with a fresh-out-of-the-box CL implementation would be amazing. Thanks for your consideration! Jesse W http://wimpycat.com

Question about documentation
by Marco Antoniotti 01 Aug '25

01 Aug '25

Hi Let me reiterate that I am very lazy. Therefore I ask here (and not and AI) for help. I know I did it in the past, but please walk me through it again or point me to the right site. I have a library. In the old days I had a 'docs' directory in the main one and then I would generate (*) the documentation there. Now I need to shift the documentation to the .dev web pages. How exactly do I do that? Making sure I also have the YAML stuff working? Thanks. All the best MA (*) With HEΛP (https://helambdap.sf.net) of course. -- Marco Antoniotti, Professor, Director tel. +39 - 02 64 48 79 01 DISCo, University of Milan-Bicocca U14 2043 http://dcb.disco.unimib.it Viale Sarca 336 I-20126 Milan (MI) ITALY REGAINS: https://regains.disco.unimib.it/

Re: Do I have to do anything to get GitHub Mirroring?
by Robert Goldman 11 Jul '25

11 Jul '25

It looks like this was all set up earlier and has simply continued. I just looked and some stuff I'd pushed to cl.net has made it to GitHub. No idea how that happened, but if it ain't broke, I'm not going to try to fix it!
