Hello *, |
2 |
|
3 |
Things from the lisp overlay migrate to the main tree very slowly. And |
4 |
even in the overlay some important new versions are absent. sbcl-1.1.* for |
5 |
example. |
6 |
|
7 |
Today, I committed to the main tree |
8 |
|
9 |
asdf-2.26 |
10 |
gentoo-init-1.0 |
11 |
sbcl-1.1.2 |
12 |
|
13 |
All this stuff is pmasked. I am not a lisp expert myself, I only use lisp |
14 |
to compile maxima and fricas. sbcl seems the best lisp for this, it is |
15 |
fast and problem-free. So, I am really interested in having recent |
16 |
versions of sbcl in the tree. |
17 |
|
18 |
Also, it seems that there is some inconsistency in gentoo-init and asdf |
19 |
which are available in the main tree; in the overlay, things have been |
20 |
fixed. Moving this stuff to the main tree is, I think, high priority. |
21 |
|
22 |
gentoo-init-1.0 is from the overlay, practically verbatim (I had to do |
23 |
minor changes to make it co-exist with 0.1 in the tree). |
24 |
|
25 |
asdf is from the overlay (version bumped), but there is a problem: |
26 |
common-lisp-3 eclass is not in the tree. I simply inserted the needed |
27 |
stuff from this eclass to the asdf ebuild. Yes, I know, this is not the |
28 |
right thing to do. But it seems that nobody works on moving this eclass to |
29 |
the main tree, and this blocks all further progress. |
30 |
|
31 |
sbcl is also from the overlay, version bumped. sbcl-1.1.2 successfully |
32 |
compiles maxima and fricas on x86 and amd64, and everything seems quite |
33 |
good. |
34 |
|
35 |
So, if anybody has objections against moving these things to the main |
36 |
tree, please, say so now, while this stuff is hard-masked. If I'll hear no |
37 |
objections after some period, I'll unmask it. |
