RMCL Hosting Request and Updates

We have some updates to RMCL, including Snow Leopard support.

Before describing those updates, though, I'd like to put out a hosting  
request.  Would someone(s) from the MCL community be willing to take  
over responsibility for hosting the MCL source code repositories?  We  
think ongoing work and community support for MCL would be simplified  
if it was managed by one or more active MCL users.

If you're interested in doing this, please discuss it on the list.   
You don't need Clozure's permission, just the community's buy-in.  You  
can get the sources by following the instructions given below.

Now for the updates:

RMCL 5.2 is now available.  This version is based on the MCL 5.2  
sources.

In addition, there is a new version of the old version of RMCL, the  
one based on 5.1 plus a mix of other versions.

Both of these versions of RMCL run on Snow Leopard.  Both can be  
downloaded using subversion, as described below.  We haven't made zip  
or dmg versions of these releases.

To get RMCL 5.2, type the following commands into your terminal.app:

$ cd directory/where/you/want/to/install/rmcl
$ svn co http://svn.clozure.com/publicsvn/rmcl/branches/5.2/rmcl
long
list
of
files
scrolls
by
Checked out revision 291.
$ cd rmcl
$ sh post-checkout.sh
$

After running those commands you should have  a working copy of RMCL  
5.2 on your local disk.  The 'post-checkout.sh' script merges resource  
and data forks and update HFS type/creator info.  Note that even  
though this uses an http URL, you shouldn't try to access this via the  
web.  Doing so may miss some files.

If you'd rather have RMCL 5.1whatever, you run the same set of  
commands, substituting the following URL:

http://svn.clozure.com/publicsvn/rmcl/trunk/rmcl

As we said, we'd like to have someone else take over hosting the RMCL  
sources.  Whoever does that can just check them out from these  
repositories and then upload them into a new repository using the  
version control system of your choice.

Happy hacking!

Andrew
