Upstream 1.1 #
hacking, May 25th 2006

New Upstream package is available, numbered a grandiose 1.1.

Changes:

  • New command: gna for accessing Gna! (thanks to Martin Kuehl).
  • Instead of having several almost-identical command line tools there is now a single upstream.lisp, which generates all the command line tools — which are still plain Bourne shell. The generated scripts are in the tarball so lisp-phobics need not fear.

If you are curious about the way the shell scripts are generated, there is no need to get excited: it is an ad-hoc hack, not a lisp to shell compiler. If you have ever written or looked at a sexp to HTML translator, it will have nothing new to offer for you.

Wishlist items: test-suite, a way to deal with SVN, Darcs, etc.
