Subject: [cl-xmpp-devel] asdf-installing cl-xmpp in Lisp
Message-ID: <151f299b0909141131je46be1aw4c13e786ea71dfec@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all.  Sorry to broadcast a newbie question to the entire list, but
I wonder if someone could help me get started with cl-xmpp.

I'm trying to install cl-xmpp using asdf-install in the Allegro CL
environment, following the example of this tutorial:
    http://www.cliki.net/FirstStepsWithAsdfAndAsdfInstall
I'm able to install the :xmls package of the example, despite the
failing GPG check.  However, when I try to install :cl-xmpp similarly:
    (asdf-install:install :cl-xmpp)
installation fails due to a missing GPG file:
    http://common-lisp.net/project/cl-xmpp/cl-xmpp_latest.tar.gz.asc
with no option to continue.  Your page suggests a Unix command
    $ asdf-install cl-xmpp
but all of the examples I see in the asdf-install tutorial are for a
Lisp command line.  I briefly tried to build asdf-install from its
Makefile, but this failed (due to a missing asdf-module.mk).  In any
case, it seems I'm pretty close to being able to install cl-xmpp in
Lisp -- if you could add the missing GPG file or tell me how I can
avoid needing it, I'd be most appreciative.

Best regards,

Josh

P.S. in case you're interested, I hope to use cl-xmpp for asynchronous
communication between Java and Lisp components of an application I'd
like to submit to this year's Semantic Web Challenge.  I have
relatively little experience with Lisp, so I plan to write the bulk of
the code in Java, with the most performance-critical operations,
closest to the AllegroGraph triple store, in Lisp.
