Today I tried to recompile the current head after a make confclean, and found that my copy of chicken dating from 2011-09-21 (11 days old) was unable to compile it, because it did not understand the specialization type input-port. It's reasonable to add a new specialization type. It's not reasonable to change the source to depend on it at the same time. Now I'm stuck: until there is a new release tarball from which I can get an up-to-date chicken, I can't rebuild my system.

I see several possibilities here.

1. Use a new branch for fast-changing but un-bypassable features like specialization. I am basically in favor of doing all development on trunk, but because Chicken builds depend so delicately on Chicken builds, some concessions may have to be made.

2. Have a switch to disable optimizations like this -- I tried setting optimize-level to 0 in defaults.make, but it didn't help.

3. As a matter of social engineering, make sure to bump the minimal version number every time a backward incompatibility like this happens, and issue a release tarball. At present the latest tarball is 4.7.2, so old as to be useless with trunk.

This is on gcc13.fsffrance.org

ssh -i .ssh/gcc-compile-farm -p 9204 bunny351@gcc13.fsffrance.org

The sources are in ~/chicken-4.7.2. I used

gmake PLATFORM=bsd PREFIX=/home/bunny351/chickens/4.7.2 DEBUGBUILD=1 HACKED_APPLY=0 install

to build chicken

I got "500 Internal Server Error" from ​http://wiki.call-cc.org/ when trying to add a new page (​http://wiki.call-cc.org/mailing-lists). The page appeared to be created anyway but subsequent requests for the "history" link resulted in the same error.

Peter removed the file and noted that it was unversioned.

It was postulated that the error was triggered through previewing the new page before submitting it for creation.
