--- Begin Message ---Package: cl-launch Version: 1.85-1 Severity: wishlist Hello, the background of this wishlist can be found on bug #384071 [1], I created a new bug because I think the discussion was becoming specific to CL-Launch and no more to StumpWM. BTW, Xavier, I Cc:ed you because you were deeply involved in the discussion, I hope you don't mind :-) On Thu, 24 Aug 2006 00:53:17 +0200, Xavier Maillard wrote: >> Moreover, I think we need to find a common way to specify cl-launch >> files.

I'm aware of this, but the main problem here is the following. At package building time, I create the /usr/bin/stumpwm script with cl-launch --output ./stumpwm --lisp "sbcl clisp" \ --system stumpwm --init '(stumpwm:stumpwm ":0")' But with this solution, as the StumpWM maintainer I'm giving a preference to SBCL (because it's the first in the list). As by the Debian Policy not the administrator neither the end-user have the rights to modify files in /usr, but only in /etc (because only modifications done in the latter are preserved during package upgrades), if someone wants to start StumpWM through CMUCL needs to copy /usr/bin/stumpwm somewhere and modify the $LISPS variable. Thus, I think we need to find a general and user-specific solution: something like a /etc/cl-launchrc and ~/.cl-launchrc files, where for every CL-Launch binary script (e.g. /usr/bin/stumpwm) one can override variables (especially $LISPS). Thus, any maintainer that wants to provide CL-Launch binary scripts could specify every supported Common Lisp implementation, then the administrator or the end-user can adjust to his needs. Obviously, someone may prefer to copy /usr/bin/stumpwm into ~/bin, but I'm not for "polluting" $HOME with multiple copies of /usr/bin/ files which differ only for a line (yes, I'm a bit paranoid).

--- Begin Message ---This bug was closed as of 1.87-1. However, the fact that it was closed was not automatically detected, probably because the server only checks the .changes file, not the complete set of changelog differences since the previous uploaded release. In any case, the cl-launchrc feature, enabled by default on debian, fixes the issue as best as can be done by cl-launch. For more configurability, you can always use front-ends that either invokes a cl-launch-generated script without dump giving a proper $LISP or calls one of many cl-launch-generated scripts with dumps, one for each supported implementation. --#f Maybe Jesus was right when he said that the meek shall inherit the earth -- but they inherit very small plots, about six feet by three. -- Lazarus Long
