created a MOTU Common Lisp team for ubuntu
Jun. 7th, 2005 07:00 amI created a Common Lisp MOTU team for ubuntu. As the entry requirements for membership are quite a bit lower for ubuntu then for debian I hope that more people will want to co-maintain packages.
To this end I should investigate version control systems that can handle 'upstream' in CVS or darcs. Maybe the debian directory in darcs and then use dpatch to patch the original source.
In related news I got the lazy allocation patch for sbcl. In the end it gets pretty nice I only need to use the sigsegv handler for static, read-only and linkage-table space. For the dynamic space the lisp uses the C alloc function to allocate memory, and using this function you can mmap memory on the fly. This patch opens the way for having a bigger on-demand dynamic space or a dynamic space with holes. But reception to the patch has been rather cold. I'll try to create a sbcl-lazy package for debian anyway, but only on the p.d.o repository, not in unstable unless people demand it.
