is there a way with iterate to iterate through all the active elements of an arbitrary array?

Hi everyone, does the lisp libraries have any name template for package name? (something like: lisp-<name>)? I have this problem, I'm packaging the pgloader-bundle and in the bundle section in Packaging Guidelines is written that every bundled library within this package must be in 'Provide' section. I wanted to start with the alexandria library, but I've found that alexandria exists in fedora, but it's some ruby package and this

ljavorsk: Debian uses eg cl-alexandria - collection of portable Common Lisp utilities

It is my understanding that the whole "bundle" thing is so that pgloader does not interact with packages provided from other sources.

ljavorsk: how much value do you put on compatibility? You could have binary packages with only one FASL file, that would only need the exact matching SBCL version to work

ljavorsk: I bet it's so that the dependencies are in a known-good state (from the developer's point of view), and not some package maintainer's. dim can probably tell more.

jdz, Hmm I don't know what is known-good state, actually this is my first package so I'm learning about packaging on it. Not to mention the lisp :D never seen it before

A lot of stuff you write here is new for me, so I apologize if I don't understand correctly

ljavorsk: Maybe you can look into how Golang applications are packaged; as far as I know Go code can use libraries from git repositories (at specific branches/commits).
7:54:51
ljavorsk
jdz, I have to wait for dim, need to ask him if these libraries in software/* are really needed, or if there is another way, because it's a lot to list them in Provides, and also to finding all of their versions, and in the case of name-conflict to figure out the correct name

Where would I need to start looking if I get this error: Detected access to an invalid or protected memory address. occurred with errno: 0. ??
