[clo-devel] darcs
by Matthew Danish 13 Aug '04

13 Aug '04

Is it possible to have darcs installed on common-lisp.net? It should just require an installation of the debian package. deb http://abridgegame.org/debian/ woody/ -- ; Matthew Danish <mdanish(a)andrew.cmu.edu> ; OpenPGP public key: C24B6010 on keyring.debian.org

[clo-devel] new projects page
by Mario Mommer 30 Mar '04

30 Mar '04

Hi, I have commited the new projects page together with the included files. Do I remember corectly that this is checked out automatically? Anyway, for now I will generate it myself whenever there are new projects. I could not start cmucl on the box, and I actually think this is a Good Thing. Anyway, hope you like it. Sorry for the delay. I will continue developing this. Regards, Mario.

[clo-devel] Progress in taxonomy
by Mario Mommer 29 Mar '04

29 Mar '04

Hi, I finally ended up doing things as you sugested guys sugested. It is simply the Right Way :-) Find attached a prototype bit of code that does the taxonomy. It is crude, but works. In the file "library.lisp" you will find the packages defined using a "def-project" form, as in (def-project :label "pg" :name "Pg" :category "Database" :description "A Common Lisp interface to the PostgreSQL database") After loading the thing with (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op 'taxonomy) one generates a html of the taxonomy with (taxonomy:generate-html-taxonomy "filename.html"). It could (and will) be nicer. If we let people write this kind of form themselves, and put them in their project directory (which is desirable. We could do a lot with this, like automagically generating acceptable temporary project pages) we should be careful to make sure that we don't open a security hole the size of the panama channel. Ideas? Perhaps we should ask people to send these forms to us, so that we can eyeball them. Regards, Mario.

[clo-devel] Spam problem
by Mario Mommer 13 Mar '04

13 Mar '04

Hi, I think the spam that trickels in is of course annoying, but it is a bit worse that it ends up in the archives. There are lots of html-bombs in there. How do other people handle it? Should we delete the spam from the archives? Regards, Mario.

[clo-devel] anonymous cvs update problem
by Robert E. Brown 27 Feb '04

27 Feb '04

I checked out the following yesterday: movitz binary-types ia-x86 The second and third projects are required by movitz, but they're not stored in subdirectories of the movitz CVS root. Today, I tried cvs updating all three projects. Movitz worked, but the other two did not. Here's the error I got: loki [72] ./update/ia-x86 password is anonymous (Logging in to anonymous(a)common-lisp.net) CVS password: /project/ia-x86/cvsroot: no such repository cvs login: authorization failed: server common-lisp.net rejected access to /project/ia-x86/cvsroot for user anonymous /project/ia-x86/cvsroot: no such repository cvs update: authorization failed: server common-lisp.net rejected access to /project/ia-x86/cvsroot for user anonymous cvs update: used empty password; try "cvs login" with a real password Here's what my local Root and Repository files look like for ia-x86: loki [75] cat ia-x86/CVS/Root :pserver:anonymous@common-lisp.net:/project/movitz/cvsroot loki [76] cat ia-x86/CVS/Repository ia-x86 Thanks in advance for taking a look at the checkout/update problem and for setting up common-lisp.net. It's really a wonderful resource. bob

[clo-devel] clotho anonymous CVS
by Robert E. Brown 27 Feb '04

27 Feb '04

I just tried checking out the clotho project with anonymous CVS. I got the following: loki [173] cvs -z3 -d$cvs_root co clotho cvs server: warning: cannot write to history file /project/clotho/cvsroot/CVSROOT/history: Permission denied cvs server: Updating clotho cvs server: failed to create lock directory for `/project/clotho/cvsroot/clotho' (/project/clotho/cvsroot/clotho/#cvs.lock): Permission denied cvs server: failed to obtain dir lock in repository `/project/clotho/cvsroot/clotho' cvs [server aborted]: read lock failed - giving up Yesterday, I had the same problem with the gsharp project. Perhaps the procedure for setting up new projects is buggy. bob

I can't find any options in Mailman to tweak this (a configurable CL mailinglist archives would be nice) so it would involve hacking the appropriate scripts. I can do that but I won't have time before a few weeks have gone by. In the mean time, if anyone would like to suggest a different approach or hacks themselves, I'd happily use those at clnet. Erik.

They are present via NNTP however. Looking into this, I see that your postings were automatically rejected as non-members are not allowed to post to the list. > If mailing lists don't allow posting via the NNTP gateway, would it be > possible to make their groups read-only? That would be very nice. I see gmane do it, so there's probably a way, and I could do it if the owner said "I indend to keep this list exclusively to members" but I'm afraid people will change their minds and I'll be stuck spending five minutes a day changing whether a group is moderated or not. If this could be automated I would do it right away. Any thoughts? Perhaps we could make a shell script that toggled moderation and have list-owners use it? Erik.

[clo-devel] NNTP gateway for local.cl-pdf.devel
by Eric Marsden 07 Jan '04

07 Jan '04

Hi, It seems that posting via NNTP to the cl-pdf development list doesn't work: I posted two messages on 2nd Jan that don't seem to be present in the web mailing list archives. They are present via NNTP however. If mailing lists don't allow posting via the NNTP gateway, would it be possible to make their groups read-only? -- Eric Marsden <URL:http://www.laas.fr/~emarsden/>
