SLY is a fork of SLIME. We track its bugfixes, particularly to the
implementation backends. All SLIME's familiar features (debugger, inspector,
xref, etc...) are still available, with improved overall UX.
SLY's highlights are:
- A full-featured REPL based on Emacs's comint.el. Everything can be copied to
the REPL.
- Stickers, or live code annotations that record values as code traverses them.
- Flex-style completion out-of-the-box, using Emacs's completion API. Company,
Helm, and other supported natively, no plugin required.
- An interactive Trace Dialog.
- Cleanly ASDF-loaded by default, including contribs, enabled out-of-the-box.
- Multiple inspectors and multiple REPLs.
- "Presentations" replaced by interactive backreferences which highlight the
object and remain stable throughout the REPL session.
- Support for NAMED-READTABLES, macrostep.el and quicklisp.
- A portable, annotation-based stepper in early but functional prototype stage.
===> The following configuration options are available for sly-1.0.43.20240809_3:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
DOCS_PDF=on: Build PDF documentation (requires DOCS)
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
You should specify some Lisp implementation. This works for both SLY and SLIME:
(setq inferior-lisp-program "path_to_your_lisp_binary")
SLY however has convenient specific variables for more complex
configurations. E.g.:
(setq sly-default-lisp 'sbcl
sly-lisp-implementations '((sbcl ("sbcl"))))
Please see their documentation.
Contribs in `sly-contribs' list are automatically loaded and enabled (and those
not in it are disabled) each time a new session is launched, or `sly-setup' is
called. If you define `sly-contribs' in some initialization file, be sure to
include sly-fancy in it (instead, you can add to the list using `add-to-list',
after the `require' above).
If you just want to immediately enable a contrib, you can instead use
`sly-enable-contrib', but be aware that the effect will be temporary. It will
last up to the next connection established or `sly-setup' call, unless you add
the contrib to `sly-contribs' in the meantime.
Emacs Lisp ports framework: Overhaul
This overhaul introduces four key changes to the elisp ports framework:
1. Remove support for packaged byte-compiled elisp.
The primary motivation is to remove a large number of flavor-specific
packages and to simplify the ports tree. As an example, supporting
byte-compiled elisp for devel/tablist required six packages, one for
each flavor of editors/emacs and editors/emacs-devel. With over 100
elisp ports and requests for new Emacs flavors, this was
unmanageable.
2. Install configuration to integrate with Emacs's native compilation
machinery, allowing elisp from ports to be compiled into the standard

editors/sly: Update to latest commit (dated 2024/08/09)
Updates:
- Prevent ‘C-h m’ from breaking in Sly debugger buffers.
- Unbreak odd non-SLY uses of slynk/indentation system.
- mrepl: Fix a bug on SBCL.
- Emit :company-kind in Sly's flex CAPF (allows completion frameworks to
show type icons).
- Make sly-simple-completions behave more like vanilla.
- Add option to control if we replace SLIME on load.
The SLY contribs in the ports tree have not been bumped as this new
version does not change the interface to them, so they don't need
recompilation.
This is a maintainer update (olce.freebsd.ports@certner.fr).

major version increased from 30 to 31.

- Bump Emacs version in Mk/Uses/emacs.mk to update version-specific
paths
- Bump PORTREVISION of ports with USES=emacs. This is required for two
reasons. Emacs lisp files need to be byte compiled for the new Emacs
version, and files installed under, e.g., EMACS_VERSION_SITE_LISPDIR
need to be relocated.

editors/emacs: Update to 29.1
* Update Canna patch to the one for Emacs 29.
* Add new options PGTK, SQLITE3, TREESITTER and WEBP. SQLITE3 and
TREESITTER are ON by default. PGTK and WEBP options are excluded
from nox flavor.
* CARGO option doesn't imply XFT but prevents it. It is caused as a
result of adding pure GTK support (PGTK option).
* OTK options doesn't imply XTF any more. It is also caused as a

Since no official version has been released since 1.0.43, update to the latest

Lots of small changes, including fixes and customization enhancements to the
REPL, adaptations for future Emacs version, a bunch of fixes for ABCL and clasp.

*/*tex*: Fix USES=tex in some ports
During my previous commits I missed some ports which were using
lowercase USE_tex which were not searched during my commits on more than
100 ports. I am still unsure how those ports were working as there was
no option for lowercase tex in the previous bsd.tex.mk.

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.
