Yes, I created a directory and then realized it would go as a single
file in /misc, and deleted the /lint directory.

I think it was initially committed to addons/general/lint/lint.ijs and

there at the moment using WebSVN.
There are a couple of other things regarding WebSVN that would be nice...
a) can we get the RSS enabled (makes it easier to keep up with changes)
b) the Ctrl+F1 functionality in GtkIDE that opened the appropriate
source file using Trac, doesn't work correctly with WebSVN yet. For
example trying to get help on freads attempts to open this URL:
http://www.jsoftware.com/wsvn/base7/browser/trunk/main/main/files.ijs
instead of this one:
http://www.jsoftware.com/wsvn/system7/trunk/main/main/files.ijs

lint.ijs is not in addons/general/misc. Did you commit your changes?
AFAIK, JAL is working fine...

There are some problem with JAL build script perhaps related to the
recent relocation of server to amazon. I think Chris will fix it.

I don't know what has to happen to make it show up in Package

Perhaps you can check it out using SVN?

Sounds good, Henry. I certainly have a use for that.
But I can't see it in pacman for either JGTK or j602.

I have an alpha-test version of a syntax checker for J scripts. It is
in
the addons, as
general/misc/lint.ijs
The goal is to catch errors before execution. It can find only gross
errors, but those are the kind my programming students make, so this is
progress IMO. What it looks for is:
explicit definitions lacking trailing ), and ) with no definition
undefined names, including names not defined in all paths
verbs used with invalid valences
non-noun results at the end of condition blocks and verbs
syntax errors
sentences with no effect on execution (eg verb verb)
The idea is that lint can be used in place of load. It loads the
script,
then checks it for errors by executing each line of each explicit
definition
in 'safe mode' where side effects are prevented.
example:
lint '~addons/general/misc/lint.ijs'
The result of the verb is a table of (line number);(error message).
If there are errors, it brings up a grid showing the program and error
messages.
I would test this a lot more before releasing it, but school starts
tomorrow
& I'm not going to have much more time to put on it. I think it's
better
than nothing - not freshman-proof, but I'll fix that as the freshmen
tear
into it. Meanwhile I would appreciate suggestions and bug reports.
(My thanks to Dan King who suggested this project at the J Conference
in
response to my bellyaching about J's error-detection deficiencies)
