[hunchentoot-devel] Status of Kevin Rosenberg and b9.com?
Hello, I am getting into LISP and I have found the wonderful Hunchentoot web server project. I am in the process of installing it but I have run into a strange roadblock. I have installed SBCL and Slime, and I am at this point: $ sudo sbcl * (require 'asdf-install) * (asdf-install:install :hunchentoot) The asdf installer scripts reference some dependencies such as MD5 and CL-BASE64, which attempt to download packages at files.b9.com, run by Kevin Rosenberg, but *.b9.com is currently not responding at all (and hasn’t for several days) and there seems to be no way to contact Kevin to inquire about the status of his web sites. Do you know what has happened to Kevin? And if not, how can I install Hutchentoot? Thank you for any help you can give me! Jeremy
Jeremy, the easiest way to get Hunchentoot and all of its dependencies is to use Subversion: svn co http://bknr.net/svn/ediware Regards, Hans On Thu, Apr 15, 2010 at 00:59, Jeremy Reimer <jeremy.reimer@gmail.com> wrote:

Thanks Hans! I did this and you're right, it's really easy to grab the latest version and all the dependencies with SVN. However I'm a bit confused about how to proceed to compile from source from all these .lisp files. Do I still use asdf, and if so how do I point to the newly-downloaded source? Sorry about the complete newb questions, I've been going through various tutorials on the web about Hunchentoot and none of them mention using SVN. Thanks again, Jeremy On Thu, Apr 15, 2010 at 12:02 AM, Hans Hübner <hans.huebner@gmail.com>wrote:

You ran into the "Common Lisp package management is a mess" wall, but don't despair, it is not that hard. asdf is the predominant system building facility, make-alike if you will. asdf-install is just an add-on, but it is not used by many open source developers and thus not well supported. Have a look at http://common-lisp.net/~mmommer/asdf-howto.shtml - In the end, it explains how you point asdf at your system definition files. -Hans
