cCLan News, Wed Jul  4 

It's conference season, and it's vacation season.  Plus (at least in
England) it's gloriously hot weather which we should all be out
enjoying.  So, not much decided or debated since last issue.  Many
updated packages, some new packages.

* On the mailing list

New mirrors: ftp.nl.linux.org have offered to provide another cCLan
mirror - thanks!

Discussion on the finer points of building Debian packages - should we
unregister packages from the common lisp controller before or after
deleting them, and how we can have symlinks created and removed
automatically

One proposal (with code!) for inline documentation.  Ugly code, and
ugly documentation too, but it's a start.

* New and updated packages

**  araneida   - A programmable web server written and extended in Lisp

 araneida (0.54) unstable; urgency=low

   * Updated examples/, and revised the documentation slightly


**  cl-partition - A set of functions to partition sequences in Common Lisp

 cl-partition (20010609) unstable; urgency=low

   * Updated to second draft of specification

 cl-partition (20010702) unstable; urgency=low

   * Updated to third draft.
   * :start and :end behaviour is modified as suggested by Pierre Mai.


**  cl-net-telent-date - Common Lisp utilities for printing and parsing dates

   * Moved around some files and made a virtual package langband-variant.


**  cil        - Chess In Lisp. A library for cmucl.

   * Now for 'all' architectures
   * Now uses dh_link


**  lisa       - Intelligent Software Agents for Common Lisp.

 lisa (0.9.2-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Exclude lisp files from being compressed by dh_compress


**  clue       - This is a source package for clue/clio/pictures: xlib/Xt like lib

 clue (20010602-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * Now with common-lisp-controller support
   * Patches from Fred Gilham <······@csl.sri.com>


**  series     - The series package is a general iteration library for Lisps.

 series (1:2.2.5-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release.
   * Now with dh_link


**  cl-db-sockets - A Common Lisp interface to the BSD sockets API

 cl-db-sockets (0.44) unstable; urgency=low

   * Updates to documentation (data and system for producing therefrom)
   * fiddle with installation scripts to get it to be slightly more robust

 cl-db-sockets (0.44.1) unstable; urgency=low

   * fix as-yet-unreported packaging bug (prerm vs postrm)


**  quick-arrays - A library offering less flexible, but faster arrays.

 quick-arrays (1.0-4) unstable; urgency=low

   * Now with common-lisp-controller.
   * Now free! Thanks to Edward Betts.


**  memoization - A extension library that adds memoization support to CMU-CL.

 memoization (1.0-4) unstable; urgency=low

   * Now uses common-lisp-controller.


**  common-lisp-controller - This is a common lisp source and compiler manager.

 common-lisp-controller (1.6.4) unstable; urgency=low

   * Yet another bugfix to new-append-directories; remove the sbcl
 	  conditional when building the new device for physical
 	  pathnames. Closes SF bug #431921, probably.
