Commit 68d126f3 broke MELPA package about sly HOT 8 CLOSED

Ohh that's right, I forgot about that.

Waiting for MELPA to merge this fix

melpa/melpa#2021

Sorry about that. Perhaps I should add a MELPA install to test to SLY's own tests, but that would maybe make the test suite very slow.

MELPA merged my pull request, should be working now.

BTW, how are you liking SLY versus SLIME ? Would you like to make any suggestions?

from sly.

Thanks!

I haven't used SLY for any coding session yet, just occasionally start SLY to try something. So far I like the code base is modernized.

Install from melpa still doesn't work because slynk.asd is missing. (can't reopen this issue by myself..)

@kanru, I can't reproduce this. I just tried with a fresh emacs session

$ rm -rf ~/.emacs.d/elpa/* # this destroys all the elpa cache, I don't mind it, but beware
$ emacs -Q
$ emacs --version
GNU Emacs 24.3.1

And then in that emacs eval the classic melpa recipe

(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
             '("melpa" . "http://melpa.milkbox.net/packages/") t)
(package-initialize)

And do M-x package-install RET sly RET.

After that I can do M-x sly and it picks up the <slydir>/slynk/slynk.asd file.

Oops. Confirmed it also works in the melpa sandbox.

I think I was confused by my locally created sly package which didn't get update from melpa. Sorry for the noise :-)

Great. I didn't know about "melpa sandbox", it seems useful.
