Package: clips Version: 6.24-3 clipsmm (C++ wrapper for CLIPS) is a project of mine. I have received several bug reports from both Debian and Ubuntu users reporting that they cannot compile on their systems.
The problem goes back to missing function contexts in CLIPS, which the CLIPS project issued a 6.24 patch for. They have also since moved their code to sourceforge under the clipsrules project and have been slowly moving toward 6.30. There aren't any earth-shattering changes, but there are numerous bug fixes. Since I also maintain the Fedora CLIPS packages, long ago I created a patch that added autotools support and some other Linux specific fixes such as tty support via termios instead of sgtty. I've merged those changes along with the CLIPS trunk and put it into a repository on the clipsmm project page. There are two separate tarballs, one for the code and one for the docs. There are also several other files such as an xclips desktop file, emacs support scripts (which I believe came from the debian package), a clips pkgconfig file, etc. The tarballs are here: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/clipsmm/clips-6.30.0.20090722svn.tar.bz2 http://downloads.sourceforge.net/clipsmm/clips-6.30.0.20090722svn-doc.tar.bz2 I've tried to eliminate any patches in the Fedora rpm specfile by incorporating everything in the tarballs. It would be great if the Debian package could move up to the 6.30 pre-release so that those wanting to use clipsmm could without rebuilding their own clips package. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
