Notes: About me? I'm not that interesting.

I run and occasionally build networks for a living. Sometimes I poke servers and make them happy or build fail-over clusters spanning multiple timezones.

I sometimes write code. Mostly in Common Lisp or C. I find things like "work flow services" interesting. It's probably a perversion, I guess. In my other spare time I read. Lots. Mostly SF and fantasy, but the occasional mainstream fiction or protocol spec manages to sneak in.

I like to cook, too.

I just built a litte add-on, to help me package things up (see, it seems I occasionally forget that I add files to projects and then they won't get packaged when I tell the project to package itself).

From that was born the ASDF-TOOLS package (designed to work in conjunction with my build-asdf-package shellscript). It has two exposed function calls.

ASDF-TOOLS:CHECK-PACKAGE goes through the ASDF system definition and checks that the files specced there exist in .filelist and similarly for any file you explicitly ask to have packaged; differences are printed to *STANDARD- OUTPUT* and if there are files that are needed for building that are unlisted in the packaging file information, the function returns NIL.

ASDF-TOOLS:PREPARE-PACKAGE goes through the ASDF system definition and all extra files you specify, then dump this data to .filelist, it also updates the .version file.

Obvious extensions from here: An :around method on ASDF:PERFORM that handles the "incorrect FASL version" condition and forces a recompile of the component, then continues. A function that grovels through an ASDF system and deposits a gzipped tarball in the right directory. I have a vague memory of having seen an ASDF component class that is neither compiled nor loaded, if I use that to replace .filelist, I should in principle be able to move my packaging from a unix shell script to lisp code. Neat, in a way.

I told a lie, unintentionally. There is anon CVS available. There's also a web-CVS interface..

So far, I've had a bunch of emailed queries. I haven't responded to all, hopefully I will.

I don't think I posted about it, at the time. However, NOCtool now has a common-lisp.net project thingie. No public CVS at the moment. NOt even tarballs ready to snag. However, it's there and tehre's mailing lists and stuff. If you want to help, give me a shout.

I found a way of testiung Hunchentoot handlers from the REPL. Unfortunately, it only works with a non-mod-lisp instance. It also relies of having the server instance to be tested in *hunchentoot* (not a problem for me, but you may want to check that). I'll have a rummage through the Hunchentoot source at some point and see if I can get it to work when mod_lisp is involved.

(defun hunchentest (uri)
  (let* ((hunchentoot:*server* *hunchentoot*)
         (hunchentoot:*reply* (make-instance 
'hunchentoot::reply))
         (hunchentoot:*request* (make-instance 
'hunchentoot::request
                                               :uri uri)))
    (funcall (essay-dispatcher hunchentoot:*request*)
             hunchentoot:*request*)))

Found the problem. Old, stale, flexi-streams installation. Snagging a new one and recompiling meant that (setf flexi- stream-bound) suddently was in existence and my faffing around now works. Thanks for the clues, Robert!
