[cmucl-imp] ASDF 2.019 released
by Faré 28 Nov '11

28 Nov '11

Dear CL users, I released ASDF 2.018.21 as 2.019. Please test and upon success update your implementations and distributions. Since 2.018, we have the following improvements: User-Facing Changes: * UI: Create and use a load-systems abstraction, in view of using it in a system-granular parallelizing backend. (.15) * Usability: when a system can't be found, there's now a restart to retry finding a system after reinitializing the source-registry (.10). * Feature: :around-compile now accepts lambda expressions, and also strings, so you can specify future wrappers that can't even be read yet. (.11, .12). * Filesystem: recursing through logical pathnames in LispWorks (.2, .3), on SBCL as on CMUCL, have asdf:subdirectories follow symlinks (.8., .9) Change in Internals: * Configuration: modify user-configuration-directories and system-configuration-directories to return all valid directory names even when they don't exist yet so you may create them (.6), also output name of non-existing configuration file when opening them for writing (.7), * Internals: strcat (.5), split locate-systems from find-systems (.6) Bug Fixes: * Portability: Debugged CormanLisp support (.1). Fix type declaration for SCL (.17). Tweaked for Genera (.21). * Bug fix: don't drop pathname components without a / at the end when reading a path using GETENV (.18). (Bug from 2.017.27) Closes debian bug #647544. * Bug fix: don't redefine reinitialize-instance in ways that break its contract and its clients (such as asdf-dependency-grovel). Use change-class to reset slots (.16), but not to 'standard-object, which breaks ecl, rather to a proto-system class (.19), and not using keys with breaks genera (.21). (Bug from 2.017.3) * Bug fix: buglet in maybe-add-tree (.4) Upgrade: * Upgrade: unintern internals of signature changed in 2.017.12 (.13), have *system-definition-search-functions* not be a defparameter, but a defvar with a fixup (.14), clear *systems-being-defined* when upgrading asdf but re-find them immediately because they may be needed as part of a higher operation (.14). Unintern some more functions that have changed signature (.20). Happy Hacking! —♯ƒ • François-René ÐVB Rideau •Reflection&Cybernethics• http://fare.tunes.org That life is worth living is the most necessary of assumptions, and were it not assumed, the most impossible of conclusions. — George Santayana

[cmucl-imp] Remvoing hppa-assem.s
by Raymond Toy 17 Nov '11

I don't know why hppa-assem.s is checked in, but it confuses git on a case-insenstive file system like HPFS on a Mac. I'm going to delete this file. This file is not referenced in any of the Config files or Makefiles. I'm guessing it's the preprocessed version of hppa-assem.S. (There are probably lots of other files that could be removed, like the hppa directories, but I'm not going there.) Ray

[cmucl-imp] New directory structure
by Raymond Toy 04 Nov '11

04 Nov '11

Currently when you clone cmucl, you get a directory structure like cmucl/ BUILDING assembly/ code/ compiler/ tools/ <etc> I want to change the structure to be cmucl/ BUILDING bin/ build.sh build-all.sh create-target.sh src/ This is much convenient when using git. It might be possible to rearrange things even more, but I think this is good enough. I'm tired of having to cd to src to git diffs and logs and such. With this structure, I don't have to anymore.
