[Bese-devel] ucw 0.2.0pre1

[Marco Baringer]

due to some issues people (myself included) were having running the 
latest ucw i've put up a new tar ball of ucw in it's current state:

ftp://ftp.common-lisp.net/pub/project/ucw/ucw_0.2.0pre1.tar.gz

This tar ball contains ucw and the versions of all the latest libs i'm 
using to test and develop. Testing this dist should be a simple matter 
of:

1) get and unpack the tarball

2) setup asdf so that it sees the ucw_0.2.0pre1/systems/ directory (if 
you have other versions of ucw, yaclml, cl-icu, portableaserve, 
cl-ppcre, puri, etc. make sure those are _not_ visible). It should be 
sufficent to set asdf:*central-registry* to (list 
"ucw_0.2.pre1/systems") to ensure this (everything ucw needs is in the 
tar ball and all the asdf systms are linked into that directory).

3) load the examples/run-examples-aserve.lisp or 
run-examples-modlisp.lisp

4) PROFIT!

--------

Here's the scheme i'm currently using for building ucw dists, it may be 
usefull to figure out what you need for each version:

the bese-2004 at common-lisp.net archive has a tree (support--dists--1.0) 
which contains configs for the simple libraries (yaclml, arnesi, 
cl-icu, etc.) and for ucw you'll find a directory for every release 
i've made. Those directories (currently we have 0.1.0, 0.2.0pre0 and 
0.2.0pre1) have a RELEASE file describing what it is and a build script 
which pulls all the required stuff, builds up a tar ball and sends it 
off to common-lisp.net (obviously only I can perform that last step). 
So if you want to know what is required for using ucw 0.2.0pre1 you can 
just look in ucw/0.2.0pre1/build and see what it grabs.

If anybody wants to suggest another way to create and manage these 
dists i'm all ears.
