Thank you

Today (December 31) is the last day for the Quicklisp appreciation fundraiser. It has met and exceeded the matching fund goal by a wide margin. I am so thankful of all the support for this fundraiser, but also for the many kind words of appreciation, and for the "Quicklisp supporter club" donors, over the years. The positive feedback has made the work very satisfying.

Thank you, and best wishes for a happy 2017!

There are more removed projects than usual this month. asn.1 was removed by request of the author. esrap-peg no longer builds - it may be back soon. All the others are victims of Google Code and SourceForge. Their code can no longer be easily checked out or updated, they don't affect other projects, and nobody has come forward to move them somewhere else and maintain them. If you miss any of those projects, feel free to take it over and let me know.

Projects on the bubble

This month there are a number of projects that may be dropped from Quicklisp. They are hosted by Google Code and SourceForge, and the projects no longer check out properly. They are:
Each of these projects was downloaded between 4 and 6 times in the month of September. (No project in the entire dist was downloaded fewer than 4 times.)

I'm going to do some build-testing and see how widely this will impact other projects. If the damage is minimal, they will simply be dropped.

If you maintain (or want to maintain) one of these projects and want to see it remain in Quicklisp, please update its hosting and then get in touch.

Recovering from a breaking update

The March Quicklisp update has usocket 0.6.4, an update that unfortunately does not build on older versions of SBCL due to IPv6-related symbols. In response, Chun Tian quickly released usocket 0.6.4.1, which builds fine on older SBCLs.

It's only been a few days since the last Quicklisp dist release, so I'm not going to make a new one just for the usocket problem.

If you're hit by this issue, what can you do?

The best option, if available, is to upgrade to a recent SBCL, which has many new and exciting features and works well with the usocket in the latest Quicklisp release.

If that's not feasible, you can also manually get usocket 0.6.4.1 (or newer) from the usocket download page, unpack it in ~/quicklisp/local-projects/, and go from there.

Finally, you can revert to last month's Quicklisp dist. I first wrote about this in "Going back in (dist) time", but here's a short overview:

* (in-package :ql-dist-user)

* (second (available-versions (dist "quicklisp")))
("2016-02-08"
 . "http://beta.quicklisp.org/dist/quicklisp/2016-02-08/distinfo.txt")

* (install-dist (cdr *) :replace t :prompt nil)
lots of output

In particular, the second element of available-versions will always be the second most-recent Quicklisp dist, so that's generally the one to use if you want to go one dist backward.

(Topic for the future: how better prerelease testing will catch these kinds of problems.)

March 2016 Quicklisp dist update now available

This update, Quicklisp's 66th, is brought to you by me! I've been fortunate to have Clozure sponsor a lot of Quicklisp work in the past, but now I'm self-employed. Working on Quicklisp takes time. In April, I'm going to try to raise a lump sum of money so I can work on a number of get-out-of-beta features, like better download security, provenance info, a manual, etc. Beyond that onetime fundraising, I'd like to enlist more regular monthly supporters for funding ongoing dist updates and maintenance. Do you think Quicklisp is worth it? I'm looking forward to finding out shortly.

If you have any feedback on fundraising, feel free to get in touch.

Back to your regularly scheduled update announcement...

Quicklisp client update available with proxy fix

A recent update to the Quicklisp client program broke proxy support. Instead of a successful download, it would stop with the error Unexpected HTTP status for <url>: 400.

If you use a proxy, you unfortunately can't get the fix with the normal (ql:update-client) command. You have to install fresh from quicklisp.lisp again. If you have anything in your local-projects directory, save it, then remove your old ~/quicklisp directory prior to installation.

Sorry about the hassle, and please report any new bugs you find in the client. Thanks!

Removed projects: cl-llvm, cl-popen, cl-v4l2, cl-zmq, hdf5-cffi, lambda-gtk, magicffi, perfpiece, sqnc.

These projects were removed because I now use Debian 8 for testing, and I have been completely unable to get them to build. If you know quick and easy ways to get any of them to build on Debian 8, let me know, and I'll get them back into Quicklisp.

Enjoy!

New Quicklisp client available

I've updated the Quicklisp client to version 2016-01-21. There are a few new things:

  • Fix for issue #116, so"asdf" is now ignored as a system to be bundled instead of signaling an error. Thanks to Dimitri Fontaine for inspiration and some code for fixing this.
  • Merged pull request #127, which has some small fixes courtesy of Attila Lendvai
  • Merged pull request #124, which adds recognition of URL schemes to fetching, and a special variable to control what function is used for what scheme. This feature moves Quicklisp closer to out-of-beta; many thanks to SANO Masatoshi for contributing it.
To get this update, use (ql:update-client) and restart your session.
