<br>Well, yes, api changes abundant. It was mentioned on this list that<br>the current complex ucwctl way will perhaps/probably disappear in the<br>near future. I don't know what's the status on that, but then again,<br>luca (who made the setup) wants to keep it for debian anyway it seems.
<br>You should talk to him perhaps. You packagers/ebuilders might have<br>more use for this kind of thing than the avarage user (i actually use<br>it but i don't really care if it stays in or if it goes).</blockquote><div>
<br>Thanks, Ties. Yes, I'm getting the sense that I might be better off writing a new launcher for the gentoo init scripts that uses the start.lisp alone. Whether or not the ucwctl/conf.lisp stuff stays in or not, I'm getting the sense that supporting it and seeing that it doesn't break won't be a high priority. That's not a complaint - it makes more sense if I try to keep the gentoo package as close as possible to the way most people are using ucw. I'll see if others (including luca) can offer some advice first - it troubles me that I don't understand what is going wrong, and I don't want to bounce off this again.
<br><br>Also, if luca is comitting to keeping this stuff alive for Debian, maybe I can work with him on maintaining it for both of our distros. Luca? (It might be time for me to fire up a debian vm and see how things work there).

9.14 on linux. usually what i do<br>is not make the changes you made in start.lisp, because that's the<br>point of applications.d i thought, but if you do it my way, you need<br>to add<br><br>(ucw:register-application ucw:*default-server*
<br>ucw-intro::*ucw-intro-application*)</blockquote><div><br><br>I'm on sbcl 9.14, too. I tried your change, including removing the changes to start.lisp and it didn't have an effect (but thanks, anyway, I've left it in). Notably, there is no apparent attempt to compile the ucw-intro *.lisp files - I think it is failing before it loads the asd file.

<br>nowadays. By all means EDIT IT!! Ask Erik Enge for a <a href="http://common-lisp.net">common-lisp.net</a><br>account and log in.</blockquote><div><br><br>I'll do that - especially once I become more comfortable with this stuff. Thanks, again.
