sterni 8f199c65df docs(3p/lisp/mime4cl): describe changes compared to original version
Spell out that “may diverge” is more of a “has diverged by now”. We are
essentially maintaining a fork of mime4cl.

mime4cl

MIME4CL is a Common Lisp library for dealing with MIME messages. It was originally been written by Walter C. Pelissero and vendored into depot (mime4cl-20150207T211851.tbz to be exact) as upstream has become inactive. Its original website can still be accessed.

The depot version has since diverged from upstream. Main aims were to improve performance and reduce code size by relying on third party libraries like flexi-streams. It is planned to improve encoding handling in the long term. Currently, the library is being worked on intermittently and not very well tested—it may not work as expected.

Differences from the original version

  • //nix/buildLisp is used as the build system. ASDF is currently untested and may be broken.

  • The dependency on sclf has been eliminated by inlining the relevant parts.

  • MY-STRING-INPUT-STREAM, DELIMITED-INPUT-STREAM, CHARACTER-INPUT-ADAPTER-STREAM, BINARY-INPUT-ADAPTER-STREAM etc. have been replaced by (thin wrappers around) flexi-streams. In addition to improved handling of encodings, this allows using READ-SEQUENCE via the gray stream interface.
