Update cl-num-utils about cl-mlep HOT 10 CLOSED

Hi, thanks for raising this issue! I haven't used Lisp for years, so please refresh my background if I miss something.

After updating the Quicklisp client (ql:update-client) to the most recent version 2021-02-13, (ql:quickload :num-utils) throws an error, but (ql:quickload :cl-num-utils) succeeds. This indicates that cl-num-utils is still the right name for the lib. Am I wrong?

It sounds like you need to update the software distributions list in addition to the client. Try (ql:update-dist "quicklisp")

Thanks; that did the trick! I replaced cl-num-utils with num-utils (e6a115f). This should resolve this issue, right?

from cl-mlep.

Yes, it should. Does cl-mlep have a test suite we can try?

from cl-mlep.

We have, unfortunately, no test suite, but we can try to replicate the usage examples. When loading load-with-add.lisp, I get the following error:

"XREAL" is already a nickname for "CL-NUM-UTILS.EXTENDED-REAL".

I guess this is due to the lla package, which still depends on cl-num-utils instead of num-utils, which makes our update inconsistent with lla.

Yes, that's exactly correct. I'm in the process of getting the new LLA into Quicklisp. Now that cl-mlep is 'ready', I'll go back and get that process moving. Once Quicklisp's LLA is the new one, then all should work. I'll report back here once that's done.

For reference, that is quicklisp/quicklisp-projects#2276

Great, thanks for your efforts! 👍

@Symbolics, can we close this issue?

from cl-mlep.

Yes, let's do that. I wasn't able to test, but the new LLA seems to be functionally equivalent.

I verified that the PCA example from the documentation (where LLA is used) is working after updating quicklip, with a minor additional commit I have done now. Thanks!
