Hi, I would like to pack Xindy an index processing system like makeindex. Xindy's source comes with clisp 2.33.2 and it is compiled at build time.
I've got it managed to build with the clisp package from Debian. But I have little problem and saw the Debian package depends on X11. Upstream do not support other versions than this one shipped with the source and depending on the clisp package would make more packages need to be installed to use Xindy -- a simple text processor needs X11. On the other hand I can decrease the compile time heavily, make the package architecture independent and smaller. And I see the problem that I have to track the development of clisp and maybe backport (security) bugs if I use the clisp version from the tarball. What do you think? Is it better to use the clisp version shipped with the source tarball or use the Debian package? Thanks for your comments, Jörg. -- Professor: "Gott", unverständliches und mythisches Wesen, das sich einmal pro Woche im Kreis der Sterblichen manifestiert um Weisheit auf Folien unter das Volk zu bringen.
