Attila, here's my RCS archive. It contains all changes I ever did, in RCS format. It reflects the state from January this year. It's still 1.4. It does not contain the things I've announced for 1.5 (i.e. log in .lisp, your first-time-p, the clause specifier concept unification). Maybe I'll have time the next week-end. What do you expect from a move from Arch to Darcs? As for myself, the only thing I can tell is I have a little experience with it via CFFI, but ~0 with Arch. I found Darcs' behaviour in case of conflict really weird and utmost confusing. Beside that, I enjoyed using it and especially appreciated its "choose which diff snippets from the file to make part of the patch" feature that I had never seen before. I confirm access to shells.common-lisp.net. Now I need to get used to gpg (we used PGP among others in my department, and gpg did not like my PGP secret key, something about IDEA). Regards & thanks for your efforts, Jörg Höhle.

[iterate-devel] iterate asdf-install bug?
by Alex S Fukunaga-105001 30 Mar '06

30 Mar '06

Hi, First, thanks for maintaining this package -- it looks quite useful and much nicer than loop! I believe that the asdf-install for the iterate package is partially broken: ; SLIME 2005-04-27 CL-USER> (asdf-install:install 'iterate) Install where? 1) System-wide install: System in /usr/local/asdf-install/site-systems/ Files in /usr/local/asdf-install/site/ 2) Personal installation: System in /home/fukunaga/.asdf-install-dir/systems/ Files in /home/fukunaga/.asdf-install-dir/site/ --> 2 Downloading 337265 bytes from http://common-lisp.net/project/iterate/releases/iterate-current.tar.gz ... "[GNUPG:] ERRSIG 3E58406D6450AA06 17 2 00 1138035756 9" "[GNUPG:] NO_PUBKEY 3E58406D6450AA06" Installing ITERATE.asdf-install-tmp in /home/fukunaga/.asdf-install-dir/site/,/home/fukunaga/.asdf-install-dir/systems/ package.lisp iterate.lisp iterate-test.lisp iterate-pg.lisp iterate.asd doc/iter-man.tex doc/iter-bare.tex doc/aimemo.sty doc/GNUmakefile doc/iter-man.pdf doc/iter-bare.pdf #P"/home/fukunaga/.asdf-install-dir/site/package.lisp iterate.lisp iterate-test.lisp iterate-pg.lisp iterate.asd doc/" NIL CL-USER> Note the premature exit with NIL. The problem is that all the files are unpacked into the wrong directory, /home/fukunaga/.asdf-install-dir/site, instead of being unpacked into /home/fukunaga/.asdf-install-dir/site/iterate This causes asdf-install to quit without compiling the system or creating the symlink to iterate.asd from .asdf-install-dir/system regards, -Alex

[iterate-devel] 2 questions
by Alexis Gallagher 27 Mar '06

27 Mar '06

Hi, I have two questions about iterate. # asdf-installs into site/ root -- correct? I just asdf-installed iterate as well as many a few other packages into a fresh installation of sbcl (0.9.10.37), choosing at the prompts to ignore gpg checks (gpg not installed) and install to system-wide directories. When I looked in my site/ directory, I found that iterate has placed its files directly in the site/ root rather than creating a subdirectory for itself like every other package. Is that how iterate is supposed to behave, or is this a configuration problem in its asdf packaging? # docstring I was wondering if others would be in favor of beefing up the docstrings and online help facility within iterate. Right now there's only (display-iterate-clauses), which let's you see all the docstrings but those docstrings are too short to help much. If I made a patch that added more to those docstrings, including small examples, so you could find the right syntax from the repl without opening a pdf viewer, would people support merging that into the package? thanks, alexis

Hi, Andreas Fuchs wrote: >And it is done. Attila, you now have write permissions. When Joerg >requests a cl.net account, I'll get him added, too. I welcome Attila with write permissions. Indeed, the web site is bit rot and would benefit from benevolents. AFAIK, I don't "need" an account, because I cannot use it. I have no SSH permissions to the outside world. Last time I talked with Erik Enge (at most a month ago), there was no solution (yet) to this problem. However, I can use HTTP (to port 80 only, and maybe a few others) and HTTPS to the standard SSL port (443). Thus if there's a way to update a repository via these means, I'm in favour of using that. o darcs has afaik means to automatically integrate signed patches via e-mail. If Erik can set this up, it could be used. I've no experience with that, though. o maybe Arch has means to work only with HTTP and HTTPS, but so far, I found no indication that I can use Arch given my FW restrictions. Maybe I'm mistaken? o I have developer access to sourceforge. But that works only because they have a host (cvs-ssh.sourceforge.net) which maps the SSH port to the HTTPS one, so CVS gets through, as the FW believes it's doing HTTPS. Sourceforge is the only one I know which does that port mapping. Regards, Jorg Hohle.

AW: [iterate-devel] Count is a CL function

Where did you get v1.2? 1.4 is current, and for sure is free of such a collision. There are many other improvements. Be sure to upgrade. Regards, Jorg Hohle.

[iterate-devel] Problem with new iterate install
by Phil 18 Mar '06

18 Mar '06

I am attempting to get iterate (1.4 from common-lisp.net page) going and could use some help. I've followed the docs on common-lisp.net and d/l'd the package and loaded with asdf but when I attempt something simple like (iter (for i from 1 to 10) (collect i)) to verify the installation, errors are received (undefined variable i) which I'm interpreting as the iterate install has something wrong. I'm having these problems both on Lispworks and OpenMCL. Any pointers are appreciated...

[iterate-devel] Count is a CL function
by Daniel Hasumi-Dickison 14 Mar '06

14 Mar '06

Hi -- I'm a happy user of iterate. I couldn't find a page to subscribe to or check the archive for this list so I hope I'm not reporting redundantly... I just found that iterate (v 1.2-ansi) makes the symbol count a synonym for counting. Since count is a Common Lisp function, it shouldn't be overloaded. Daniel
