Bug#330076: RFA: clisp -- GNU CLISP, a Common Lisp implementation

2005-10-06 Thread David D. Smith
I am interested in adopting clisp. I've been using it as my primary CL
implementation for years and am also proficient in C; I believe I can
be a good maintainer for the package. Would you be willing to sponsor
me?

I've looked over the existing bug reports; none look particularly hard
except I don't have access to the Debian machines so I don't have
sparc or m68k access. Is there any particular issue you want to be
looked at?

Cheers,

Bug#331039: ITP: mcron -- Vixie cron replacement written in Guile.

2005-09-30 Thread David D. Smith
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name: mcron
  Version : 1.0.1
  Upstream Author : Dale Mellor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* URL or Web page : http://www.gnu.org/software/mcron/
* License : GNU GPL
  Description : Vixie cron replacement written in Guile.
 Mellor's cron is a 100% compatible replacement for Vixie cron. It
 supports Vixie cron's crontab files as well as a pure Scheme format
 for far greater flexibility in specifying when jobs should be
 run. Examples of specific features:
 .
  * Supports finer time-points, i.e. seconds.
  * Times can be more or less regular, e.g. a job that runs every 17
hours or a job that runs on the first Sunday of every month.
  * Times can be dynamic. Arbitrary Guile code can be provided to
compute the next time that a job should be run. This could, for
example, take system load into consideration.
  * User's crontabs can stay in their own home directories and each
user can maintain multiple crontab files if desired.
  * Each user can run the daemon for himself if desired, removing the
need for setuid programs to manipulate crontabs.
