Hello all, It's time to make the binaries for SBCL 0.8.17, and because of the new sb-unicode feature, I need to decide how to make the binaries. Right now, sb-md5 fails its tests on a sb-unicode binary. The way I see it, there are five options for how to make the binaries: 1. Don't make any. 2. Make the binaries without sb-unicode. Or, if we make the binaries with unicode, there are two options: 3. Touch test-passed in the sb-md5 directory and ship it, knowing that users who use sb-md5 will see their MD5 computed values change. 4. Don't touch test-passed and distribute without sb-md5. 5. Some combination of #3 or #4 and #2. My personal feeling is that option #3 is the right option: I'd like to ship with unicode to get users testing, and it doesn't make sense to not ship sb-md5 just because the tests haven't been fixed. However, I could see an argument for #2 - waiting until there are encode and decode to string functions before shipping binaries with unicode. #5 would be a lot of work. Advice? -- Brian Mastenbrook http://www.iscblog.info/ http://www.cs.indiana.edu/~bmastenb/ |
