* new approach to calling fork(2) in remote Lisp imagesSean Whitton2021-07-24
| | | | | | | | | | | Drop CAN-PROBABLY-FORK because we now only try to fork(2) in contexts in which there shouldn't ever be any other threads running, apart from Lisp implementation finaliser threads and the like. We no longer need to RESET-DATA-SOURCES before CONTINUE-DEPLOY* because we now only fork(2) in contexts in which *NO-DATA-SOURCES* is t. Signed-off-by: Sean Whitton <spwhitton@spwhitton.name>

* rework uploading data to be in terms of CONNECTION-UPLOADSean Whitton2021-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | Incremental updates of items of prerequisite data was not implemented, so the previous meaning of CONNECTION-UPLOAD was not achieving much. This simplifies the core implementation, should still allow connection types to implement the method to provide optimisations, and provides a way to implement copying items of prerequisite data into chroots.

* now we have DEFPROPSPEC, drop idea about DEFPROPLIST defining macrosSean Whitton2021-03-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | In fact, there are at least some cases where having DEFPROPSPEC define a macro would be less flexible than the current approach. For example, suppose what we want is for one of the arguments to a property defined with DEFPROPLIST to be evaluated and then passed as an argument to a property combinator, but outside of a propapp. If DEFPROPSPEC defines a macro, then after macroexpansion this argument will not appear inside a propapp, and so in the evaluation of DEFPROPLIST's unevaluated propspec, it will not be evaluated.
