Re: Status of ANSI compliance

[Liāu , Kiong-Gē 廖宮毅]

Hi,

I just realized the failure in my last attempt to build GCL master
branch was due to memory limit within a podman/docker container.

I tried the same workflow in a LXC container and this attempt to build
the master branch on a Debian unstable LXC container was successful.

However, the current of ASDF/Quicklisp support in borth master and
2.6.13 branches seem very little if not none, anything we can do in
order to make ASDF/Quicklisp usable with GCL?

As ASDF/Quicklisp is the current de-facto default package management
tool heavily utilized by the Common Lisp community/ecosystem, without
ASDF/Quicklisp support, GCL's usefulness can be fairly limited outside
Maxima or ACL2 , whose Debian packages are built with GCL.

Thanks,
Kiong-Gē.
