Sujet : releasing a first quicklisp package De : wagnes (at) *nospam* jemoni.to (Wolfgang Agnes) Groupes :comp.lang.lisp Date : 22. Oct 2024, 16:49:54 Autres entêtes Organisation : A noiseless patient Spider Message-ID :<8734kojfx9.fsf@jemoni.to>
I wrote a couple of Common Lisp packages, one very small and a larger one that contains procedures for an Internet service. How should I organize them to be in a quicklisp package? Should I make two quicklisp packages? (I'd say no---one is too small to matter as a package.)
Is it okay for two packages to form a single quicklisp package? How do you guys decide such things?
Also, the larger package is not quite a package---it's really just the set of procedures that I need for the service. It's not likely that someone would use these packages except to run the Internet service. In other words, I intend to use quicklisp as a way to easily install the software. Is that okay?
My plan for the installation of the service is to write a program that invokes quicklisp to download the packages and then create all the files necessary to run the service in a certain installation directly. In other words, the sysadmin would install and have the service ready to run with a single command. The procedure that would do such preparation would be in the Common Lisp package that quicklisp will download and install.
I'd appreciate hearing the best practices. Thanks!
