[Axiom-developer] ["Paul F. Dietz" <address@hidden>] [Gcl-devel] Re: Issue on in-package from gcl-2.4.4 to gcl-2.5.2, correct fix? where todig?

[David MENTRE]

Hello,

Here is below the response of Paul F. Dietz on gcl-devel about the
in-package & defpackage issue. 

>From what Paul have said, I understand that I should:

 - make a file boottran-package.lisp where I would do the (DEFPACKAGE
   "BOOTTRAN") (IN-PACKAGE "BOOTTRAN"); 

 - and then I would this file through a (load "boottran-package.lisp")
   in *each* Axiom's lisp file needing BOOTRAN.

And of course do that for BOOT and other packages.

Camm and Tim, do you thing it is the right thing to do? 

As I said several times, I'm new to common lisp. So if somebody could
show me the right way to fix the issue for the first package
(BOOTTRAN?), I could try to fix the remaining ones.

Best regards,
d.
