Has anyone ported SLIB to Kawa? There are some general libraries that
SLIB provides (such as getopt) that would be nice to have in my Kawa
toolkit.
I like being able to compile "libraries" to bytecode, and
slib isn't really set up for that. However, I have imported
*parts* of slib into gnu/kawa/slib. This has the disadvantage
that it is difficult to remain upto-date with slib (someone
would have to create a patch relative to the version shipped
with Kawa). But the advantage is it's fast (compiled) and
easy (no configuration or slib init files needed).
It might be nice to have both models, of course: the
gnu/kawa/slib model, and a kawa.init file (if needed).
But if you want a specific package, try adding it to
gnu/kawa/slib and the "feature" table in
kawa/standard/require.java.
