Deploy lets you bundle a GUI application into an archive that users to unzip and run. linux-packaging lets you bundle a GUI application into a package that can be installed and run.

yes, but deploy doesn't concern itself with static linking or foreign libraries found in apt/aur/yum - it grabs them all and dumps them all along with the binary

I mean, at the end of the day, the goal of both of those is to distribute a Lisp application to users
22:55:22
ralt
in that sense, the goal is very much the same, but the approach taken to do it is fairly different, yes
22:56:12
ralt
which is why it makes sense to me to do this comparison, but I want to make sure I'm fair in it.

One of the less obvious reasons I like lisp is that I don't have to memorize/look up operator precedence rules

Greetings, I have emacs-auto-complete installed but it won't auto complete operators for me when writing common lisp. Is someone able to point me in the right direction please?

phoe: No, I hadn't seen that. Probably didn't exist when I did my work. And the purpose is not the same anyway.

Should be enough to login to a specially set up email account and mail the operator a thread backtrace?

good morning! I am having a problem with Slime I don't know how to debug and fix. If I invoke macroexpansion (slime-expand-1, C-c RET), instead of showing the result of the macro expansion in a dedicated buffer (*slime-macroexpansion*), it: opens said buffer; expands the macro _inplace_, meaning it substitutes the content of my file buffer with the result of the expansion (I then have to revert-buffer to restore the situation). I

suspect this has to do with other Emacs extensions I use, but I can't imagine a strategy to debug the problem (other than emacs -Q I guess, and trying to activate my setup piece by piece)

Good morning. Am I correct in assuming that the following must return a string if the package ASD doesn't exist:
7:35:30
pve
(handler-case (read-from-string "ASD::QWE") (package-error (x) (package-error-package x)))

pve: I think that standard does not specify whether reader signals a package-error in this situation

http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/02_ce.htm "For example ..., the reader signals a correctable error" (examples are not normative, but it is a paragraph just using the phrase "for example")

and "If editor::buffer is seen, the effect is exactly the same as reading buffer with the EDITOR package being the current package. "
