Roswell started as a command line tool to install and manage Common Lisp implementations damn easily. It now has evolved into a fullstack environment for common lisp web development, testing, code sharing and app distribution which might push the CL community to a whole new level.
This software is still beta. Basic interfaces are fixed, we believe it works well on Unix-like platforms like Linux, Mac OS X and FreeBSD, but some parts are not implemented, not stable on other OSes yet.
Checkout issue lists if you have interest in what's lacking.
See our github wiki. We provide prebuilt binaries for homebrew on OSX, AUR on Arch and also on Windows.
Feature comparison is available!
- Implementation Manager (similar to CIM)
- Scripting environment (similar to cl-launch)
- Building utility (similar to buildapp)
- Novel : Easier setup for initializing a script
- Novel : Better integration to the command-line interface (Bash completion, etc)
- Novel : Infrastructure for bundling/installing the scripts to/from a quicklisp system
- Novel : Better support for Windows environment (tested exhaustively)
- Novel : Better integration to CI environment (e.g. Travis-CI, CircleCI, Coverall)
Roswell has git-like subcommands which resemble that of cl-launch, buildapp and CIM.
$ ros
Usage: ros [OPTIONS] [Command arguments...]

list List Information
emacs launch emacs with slime
build
Options:
-w CODE --wrap CODE shell wrapper CODE to run in roswell
-m IMAGE --image IMAGE build from Lisp image IMAGE
-L NAME --lisp NAME try use these LISP implementation
-l FILE --load FILE load lisp FILE while building
-S X --source-registry X override source registry of asdf systems
-s SYSTEM --system SYSTEM load asdf SYSTEM while building
--load-system SYSTEM same as above (buildapp compatibility)

-q --quit quit lisp here
-r FUNC --restart FUNC restart from build by calling (FUNC)
-E FUNC --entry FUNC restart from build by calling (FUNC argv)
-i FORM --init FORM evaluate FORM after restart
-ip FORM --print FORM evaluate and princ FORM after restart
-iw FORM --write FORM evaluate and write FORM after restart
-F FORM --final FORM evaluate FORM before dumping IMAGE
-R --rc try read /etc/rosrc, ~/.roswell/init.lisp
+R --no-rc skip /etc/rosrc, ~/.roswell/init.lisp
-Q --quicklisp use quicklisp (default)
+Q --no-quicklisp do not use quicklisp
-v --verbose be quite noisy while building
--quiet be quite quiet while building (default)
--test for test purpose
$ ros install sbcl-bin # default sbcl
$ ros install sbcl # The newest released version of sbcl
$ ros install ccl-bin # default prebuilt binary of ccl
$ ros install sbcl/1.2.0 # A specific version of sbcl
$ ros list installed sbcl # Listing the installed implementations
$ ros run -- --version # check which implementation is used
SBCL 1.2.15
$ ros use sbcl/1.2.3 # change the default implementation
The list of supported implementation is growing further!
$ ros init
Usage: ros init [template] name [options...]
$ ros init fact
Successfully generated: fact.ros
$ emacs fact.ros
## editing the fact.ros ...

$ ./fact.ros 10
Factorial 10 = 3628800@Rudolph-Miller is providing a Chef recipe for setting roswell up.
@fukamachi use Roswell with CircleCI.
From ‘made with secret alien technology’.
I felt making it easier to use Lisp for people is a kind of making opportunity for humanbeings to mingle with alien technology. I recall ‘roswell incident’ by the concept. I'm not sure what you feel.
- keens/cim : similar project that is implemented in shellscript.I motivated to implement roswell by seeing this project.
- cl-launch : influenced by the project of command line parameters design.
