Hi,
I've encountered a bug when using slime with ACL 6.2 on windows. I get an error if in my slime repl I run (tpl:do-command "zoom"). Is this replicable? Any suggestions?
Also, is there any mechanism to report slime bugs other than subscribing to this mailing list? I've never used gmane, is it less of a hassle for the end user? Perhaps a note to that effect would be good on the web page. But I feel there ought to be something on the web page or documentation that says something about bug reporting while slime is still imperfect.
Thanks!

Yes, it is replicable. But I think this is not actually a SLIME bug because it also occurs in a normal terminal if you enter
(mp:process-run-function "foo" (lambda () (tpl:do-command "zoom")))
So it seems that tpl:do-command can only be called if the toplevel loop is running in that thread. tpl:top-level-read-eval-print-loop seems to start such a loop.
Also, is there any mechanism to report slime bugs other than subscribing to this mailing list? I've never used gmane, is it less of a hassle for the end user?
You can post via gmane without being subscribed to the list. The first time you have to send a confirmation message, but the following messages don't require the confirmation. That's gmane's way to block spammers.
Yes, I think it is a bit less a hassle because you don't have to remember passwords and such. Gmane is also useful if you just want to read the mailing list or search for old messages and if you like a newsreaderly interface.

Yes, that would be good.

I thought c-l.net is also supposed to provide access to mailing lists via NNTP:
http://common-lisp.net/nntp.shtml
Haven't tried it, though.
Cheers, Edi.

I have: it usually works, but at the moment it doesn't, probably from the hosting move.
(In other news -- yes, shoot me for doing this -- the SBCL requirement in SLIME's documentation should be bumped to 0.8.13 from 0.8.12 for the release. This has actually been the case for a while now, but it doesn't look like anyone has the energy to restore workingness under sbcl-0.8.12, so probably the documentation should be updated for the new reality.)

OK. Updated.
