0:57:02attila_lendvaiyou could call that simply defconstant*, no?
1:06:32Bikeyeah but i don't like the star convention.
1:06:49Bikethat is, foo* meaning "foo but different"
1:26:33attila_lendvaiBike: re your utf-8 change: it scatters the setting from one place to eight or so places, which violates the OAOO rule, which in turn tends to bite you down the road. if you don't want sbcl internals to be touched (not that sb-impl::*default-external-format* ever changed in the last several years), then I'll try to come up with something else. unfortunately sbcl doesn't seem to have a public way to change the default from lis
1:27:41Bikewe could (defconstant +scraper-external-format+ :utf-8) and use that
1:29:45Bikebut mostly i wanted it to work since i didn't want to bother contemplating why i was getting the revised error
1:31:28attila_lendvaiBike: well, the whole scraper invocation line is sbcl specific, and will remain so due to the other command line args. cl-launch can abstract that away for some extra dependencies... but I'd just add whatever lisp we support for bootstrapping.
1:31:50Bikeyeah, i'm not that concerned, just think it's worth mentioning. if sbcl exports something i don't mind using it.
1:31:58Bikebut i've used sb-impl stuff before, and then it changed and it was a pain
1:32:05attila_lendvaia with-open-file* (err, :) ) macro would do, no need for a defconstant
2:13:46drmeisterI searched for s/defconstant[^"]*"/ and changed them all to defvar - now cando compiles file - thanks!
