Ah, ok, I see. Yes, I'd suggest just removing the other lists. Still, I
do find the naming confusing -- I want to use UncommonWEB (UCW), so I go
looking for... bese? Hmm.

This step produces two problems:

... but they don't seem to have much to do with what happens later.

At this point, I get:

 Marco> 9) tell me about any and every warning/error you get.

Overall, at this point I get a number of errors and warnings. I've
pasted the SLIME summary, let me know if you want more details.

-+  Warnings (4)
 |-- These functions are undefined:
 |     (SETF SESSION.ID) COOKIE INSERT-WITH-NEW-KEY
 |-- Undefined function INSERT-WITH-NEW-KEY 
 |-- Undefined function COOKIE 
 `-- Undefined function (SETF SESSION.ID) as the argument to FUNCTION
-+  Errors (2)
 |-- (during macroexpansion)
 |   Error in FDEFINITION:  the function APPLICATION.SESSION-TABLE is undefined.
 `-- (during macroexpansion)
     Error in FDEFINITION:  the function APPLICATION.SESSION-TABLE is undefined.

The "Undefined function COOKIE" occurs in defmethod service, and
INSERT-WITH-NEW-KEY is unknown in defmethod make-request-context. The
(setf session.id) problem is from make-new-session.

If I may humbly suggest one more thing. It might seem that packaging all
required libraries makes things easier for beginners -- but it
doesn't. Now that we have portable ASDF-INSTALL (many thanks to Dan
Barlow and Edi Weitz), installing things like acl-compat, xmls or UFFI
is easy. If you include these libraries, there is a whole new class of
problems: duplicate libraries, your modified versions (are they modified
or not?), etc.

I understand that it is easier for you not to deal with the problems of
various versions of libraries floating around (let's hope ASDF-INSTALL
gets support for library versions soon, so that you can easily tell
which version you have and easily upgrade to the latest version), but I
still think it makes much more sense to push libraries towards inclusion
in the ASDF-INSTALL system and work with the authors. It would go a long
way towards creating a "CL world of software" instead of fragmented
projects.

thanks,
--J.
