dear list,
as some of you may remember, we've forked slime some time ago. short
after that slime proper was refactored which made our fork a dead-end,
and required manual rebasing of all our changes.
recently i've started using the refactored slime HEAD and started to
gradually rebase the most missed modifications from us to the new
HEAD. the work is not finished, but we are using this new branch on a
daily basis now.
the result of this is two public darcs2 repos:
1) a tailor converted darcs2 mirror of the official slime repo without
any changes by us:
http://dwim.hu/darcsweb/darcsweb.cgi?r=HEAD%20slime;a=summary
2) a darcs repo based on 1) containing our extra patches:
http://dwim.hu/darcsweb/darcsweb.cgi?r=HEAD%20hu.dwim.slime;a=summary
currently the most notable differences are in the inspector. some of the extras:
- i've re-added the short-lived dwim inspecting feature: when C-i is
pressed on a name, tries to look up things with that name, then puts
the name on the inspector stack, and instead of the name, it inspects
the thing that was looked up by that name. IOW, if you press C-i on
the name of a class, then the inspector will come up with the class,
and if it's not what you want, then you can press 'l' to go back to
the symbol.
- extended the fancy inspector by an inspectable type, and the object
itself is also an inspector link, so that it's copyable to the repl as
needed.
- several type of objects are displayed nicer in the inspector
- inspecting stick to the same thread, so when e.g. inspecting an
object in the debugger then the svuc customizations run in the same
thread (think of *transaction*...)
besides the inspector changes, there are numerous small convenience
changes, some bugfixes, and a bit of fuzzy completion speedup. the
detailed list of extra patches is available at the end of the mail.
i'm not welcom on slime-devel, so i cut it short here, and i'm not
planning to write much more about this fork here. but i don't mind if
someone with the commit bit commits some of these changes to the
official branch either.
it's a matter of darcs diff -u -p "some regexp in the patch
description" >/tmp/x.diff
happy hacking,
