Ah, ok. Now, the circularity is introduced expicitly here, so there
is not much we can do, but splitting the svnwiki-extensions
extension into separate parts, one that provides macros and
support stuff ("svnwiki-utils" ?) and one that explicitly loads the
svnwiki extensions. Note that your are running a nested extension
system inside the existing one. Could you perhaps put each svnwiki-
extension into a separately installed (not separately distributed)
egg? All you need to do is have multiple "install-extension" forms
in your .setup script. You then load the svnwiki-extensions one by one
using the usual require/use/require-extension mechanism.

This particular problem I'm solving by having all the chicken-eggs that want svnwiki-extensions to load them create a file in repository-path/svnwiki-extensions-register named after them. I then do: (define (svnwiki-extensions-init) (for-each (lambda (name) (require (string-append "svnwiki-" name))) (directory (make-pathname (repository-path) "svnwiki-extensions-registry" And then the caller does: (use svnwiki-extensions) (svnwiki-extensions-init) However, I would like to include the body of the svnwiki-extensions-init function directly in the svnwiki-extensions egg, so that it suffices for the caller to (use svnwiki-extensions). However, this will result in a loop: 1. Caller: (use svnwiki-extensions) 2. svnwiki-extensions, as part of the above for-each: (require "svnwiki-foo") 3. svnwiki-foo, which requires macros and symbols from svnwiki-extensions: (use svnwiki-extensions) 4. Back to #2. That's the problem I was refering to. :-) Alejo. http://azul.freaks-unidos.net/ ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users

What Felix is looking for, however, is a benchmark. CL-PPCRE used to have benchmarks, but they weren't very good, and don't even seem to be available anymore. The shootout benchmark is a joke. I'll be working on comprehensive benchmarks for the next release of irregex. In the meantime, I think a simple collection of common regular expressions and usage patterns in existing Chicken code would help to reassure people :) -- Alex ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users

Re: [Chicken-users] chicken-setup failiing to install egg
> Good to see you. Thanks. :-) I had neglected Svnwiki for a few months for no particular reason. I guess the disagreement we had about how eggs should be handled was frustrating for me so partially I decided to take a break and partially I just got caught on other things (what you could call "personal reasons", but there was nothing in particular). I've felt great this last week starting to work on Svnwiki (and its associated eggs) again. I felt that in very little time I managed to do a lot of things that I should have done before but that I just never managed to get myself to start (such as fixing the whole Svnwiki extension system once and for all or implementing most of the mail-spec functionality which I've been mising for a while). The code (in the current form) is broken, but once I finish fixing it it should be in a significantly better shape. I've even discovered and fixed some bugs in the previous (currently stable) version. All of this just to say that I intend to become as active as I was (in developing Svnwiki and related eggs) again. > I hope we can get rid quickly of all the breakage that we seem to > have created... I apologize for this mess. Well, you know that you don't need to apologize. Temporary breakage is a cost of major changes, which are required to improve certain things in important ways. And, in any case, it is a pleasure to develope in this awesome mess of a platform that we have. :-) Alejo. http://azul.freaks-unidos.net/ ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users

Things (ie. svnwiki/trunk) are currently broken! I am making significant changes to the code. I'll update this thread once I consider the trunk stable enough for general use. I think the best option should be to continue using r13754 for the Svnwiki repository and r10471 for the release/3/stream-wiki/trunk directory in the chicken-eggs repository. That should work.

Re: [Chicken-users] Changes to Svnwiki's extensions system coming
I tried using two require-extension forms, but the result is the same.
