Kevin Rosenberg is putting 100 debian packages up for adoption. That means that, among other packages, these are now without an official debian maintainer:
You can get a full list of packages in his weblog entry. If you are a debian maintainer or you plan on becoming one, there’s a lot of (high-quality, and high-profile) stuff available for you to take on.
I’m registered for the Amsterdam Lisp Meeting . You should come, too.
At last I managed to release Autobench, the incremental benchmark runner that powers http://sbcl.boinkor.net/bench/. Get it at http://boinkor.net/lisp/autobench/autobench-0.4.tar.gz. This version includes support for benchmarking CMUCL and SBCL. The README should tell you most of what you need to know.
By the way, it’s nice to know that the protocol I mentioned in the 2004-11-22 entry is sustainable. The implementation of the benchmark protocol for cmucl snapshots is about 90 lines of lisp code (which unfortunately is pretty ugly, due to some suboptimalities in cmucl snapshot packages).
Now somebody really should add support for CLisp. Hey look, it’s open source. (-;
