So I'm lagging behind my original plan vis a vis the Practical Common Lisp Lispbox distribution. (I've got preliminary versions of OS X and GNU/Linux Lispboxes up.) So now that it's mid-April is there any chance of an official 1.1 release of SLIME. To date I've been making my own "releases" out of CVS HEAD but it'd be nice to have an official one.

If tagged the release with SLIME-1-2. A tarball can be found at

http://common-lisp.net/project/slime/slime-1.2.tgz

Is that a tarball of the whole tree or a distribution made with mkdist.sh? That is, I realize, a nitpicky question, but I wonder because mkdist.sh usually makes a tar.gz rather than a .tgz file. Which matters to me because my Lispbox build process needs to know how to unpack and build the various components that make up Lispbox. Also I'm anal enough to worry about whether distributions are being built in a consistent way, i.e. preferably with mkdist.sh. -Peter -- Peter Seibel peter@gigamonkeys.com Lisp is the red pill. -- John Fraser, comp.lang.lisp

Yes, it was created with mkdist, but the tarball is now obsolete anyway.

Ah, so that's not the official 1.2 release? I included it in the 0.3 Lispboxen. I assume you'll anounce here when there's an official 1.2 I can use. I'll build Lispbox 0.4 when it's ready (or after I get back from Amsterdam). And, just out of curiosity, how is it that it ended up named .tgz instead of tar.gz if it was built with mkdist? Did you just rename it? -Peter -- Peter Seibel peter@gigamonkeys.com Lisp is the red pill. -- John Fraser, comp.lang.lisp

Yeah, to much typing like scp slime-1.2.tar.gz heller@common-lisp.net:/project/slime/public_html/slime-1.2.tgz

Shouldn't scp slime-1.2.tar.gz heller@common-lisp.net:/project/slime/public_html/ also work? ;) Kind regards, Dirk Gerrits

So I see there's now a slime-1.2.tar.gz on common-lisp.net. Is that the official release?

That was a temporary link to the .tgz file. I replaced it now with new (hopefully) official release. Helmut.

Keywords maybe? E.g.

(defmacro confusion (&key ((:the-keyword the-variable))) `(list ,the-variable))

Also default values: (defun foo (&optional (a "a")) ...)

Darn, it really messes with strings. I would like to strip the package names of parameter names but it seems a more sophisticated approach would be needed. I have rolled back the change.
