scheme48 for Debian ------------------- Library Packages ================ Debian packages which provide library functionality for Scheme48 should put their package definition files into /usr/share/scheme48// These can be loaded as usual with ,config ,load /usr/share/scheme48//packages.scm Why not multiple versions in parallel? ====================================== It would be useful to provide a scheme48 dependency package that just depends on the version-specific scheme48-X.Y* packages, so that multiple versions of scheme48 can coexist. Upstream is now set up this way, but I (dmoerner) don't have the expertise to set this up yet. Acknowledgments =============== I want to thank Riastradh of #scheme on freenode for his patience and the endless amount of help he provided. Without him, this package wouldn't be here. Slime48 ======= Slime48 is an IDE for Scheme48 built on top of the Common Lisp IDE for Emacs, SLIME. The Slime48 author writes: SLIME48 works only with Scheme48 1.3 because of gratuitous, incompatible changes in Scheme48, and, more prominently, support for Unicode in in 1.5 and later in a way that I strongly disagree with. -- http://mumble.net/~campbell/slime48.html Thus, Slime48 WILL NOT WORK with this Scheme48 package. The less powerful comint mechanism provided by cmuscheme.el or cmuscheme48.el still work. -- Daniel Moerner , Mon, 2 Mar 2009 20:24:12 -0800
