Maintainer?

[Pascal J. B. <pj...@in...>]

Hello,

I can't retrieve the message, but IIRC, there was a call for maintainer
for clisp.

Assuming it's not already taken, I'd volunter for this role,
I won't be able to allocate a lot of time to clisp,
but I should be able make a new release, and to correct a couple of bugs
a month.

Great, please go ahead.
The first task is, indeed, making a release.
The biggest problem is the gnulib interaction on windows: some gnulib
code pulled into clisp uses integers while we expect handles.
Do you have access to a msys/mingw dev env?

I've got a Windows 10 box on which I could install it.

Wouldn't I need write access to the mercurial repository?

Yes, you will have to first submit some patches here which will prove
that you mean business. :-)

Thanks!

If you want it done right, you have to do it yourself.
