colleagues,
a new version of Allegro CL was released more than a year ago, but for
lack of time, i had postponed upgrading the LOGON infrastructure to the
latest and greatest Lisp version. i finally did so over the past few days,
and those few of you actually running from source code (i.e. holding an
ACL license of your own) will see relatively big changes when you next
'make update' your LOGON tree.
to check whether you would be affected, one can
cd $LOGONROOT
svn info franz | grep URL | grep extras
if the output from this command is empty, you can stop reading here. i
have not yet re-generated the LOGON run-time binaries using this newer
version of ACL, and i suspect we will test it for at least another few weeks
before i next generate run-time binaries.
if you have switched that directory to a full copy of Allegro CL, however,
you will see an output from the above including the '/extras/' path, e.g.
URL: http://logon.emmtee.net/extras/trunk/franz
in this case, you will need to obtain new license keys (for your site), to
support Allegro CL 8.2. assuming you have those, i recommend:
cd $LOGONROOT
\rm -rf franz/linux.x86.??
svn update
for further background on these procedures, please see:

and please let me know in case there are surprises in the above!
best, oe
