  • EXTERNAL SPECIAL-VARIABLE

    *DISTS*

    Source

    *DISTS* is an ALIST of PLISTS, each being one of the distributions available
    in QL-META.

  • EXTERNAL FUNCTION

    DIST-PROPERTIES

    • DIST

    Source

    DIST-PROPERTIES returns the list of properties of a DIST.

  • EXTERNAL FUNCTION

    DIST-URL

    • DIST

    Source

    DIST-URL returns the url property of a DIST

  • EXTERNAL FUNCTION

    GET-DIST

    • DIST-NAME

    Source

    GET-DIST retrieves a DIST based on DIST-NAME, if existing. Otherwise, returns NIL.

  • EXTERNAL FUNCTION

    GET-DISTS-NAMES

    • &OPTIONAL
    • DISTS

    Source

    GET-DISTS-NAMES returns a list of all dist names defined in *DISTS*

  • EXTERNAL FUNCTION

    GET-DISTS-URLS

    • &OPTIONAL
    • DISTS

    Source

    GET-DISTS-URLS returns a list of all dist urls defined in *DISTS*.

  • EXTERNAL FUNCTION

    INSTALL-DIST

    • DIST-NAME
    • &KEY
    • FORCE

    Source

    INSTALL-DIST installs a dist DIST-NAME using QL-DIST.
    
    As default, use the parameters (:prompt nil :replace t) on
    ql-dist:install-dist to avoid human interaction.
    
    If DIST-NAME doesn't exist as a key in *DISTS*, this function
    raises an error.

  • EXTERNAL FUNCTION

    INSTALLEDP

    • DIST

    Source

    INSTALLEDP checks whether a DIST was installed through QL-DIST.

  • EXTERNAL FUNCTION

    QUICKLOAD

    • SYSTEM
    • &KEY
    • DIST
    • SILENT

    Source

    QUICKLOAD wraps QL:QUICKLOAD.
    
    If DIST is specified, QUICKLOAD will attempt to fetch the system from it. If the
    specified DIST were not installed prior to system installation, it is removed
    again.
    
    Specifying SILENT suppresses output.

  • EXTERNAL FUNCTION

    UNINSTALL-DIST

    • DIST-NAME

    Source

    UNINSTALL-DIST a dist DIST-NAME using QL-DIST.
    
    Returns NIL on uninstallation error and when the dist DIST-NAME were not
    installed in the first place. Otherwise, returns T.

  • EXTERNAL GENERIC-FUNCTION

    DIST-APROPOS

    • TERM

    Source

    DIST-APROPOS searches for a dist containing TERM and prints it to *STANDARD-OUTPUT*.
    
    This function effectively wraps DIST-APROPOS-LIST so it is printed nicely on
    console.

  • EXTERNAL GENERIC-FUNCTION

    DIST-APROPOS-LIST

    • TERM

    Source

    DIST-APROPOS-LIST returns a list of DISTs based in a matching TERM.
    
    This function considers %dist-realname and dist-url when searching.
