Hi Robert, a side note: have you ever considered creating your company-internal quicklisp distribution?
We are in the same situation of needing defined versions of dependencies indepent from what is in the current quicklisp dist. We solve this by having a repository with a file which contains a list of git repos where the master branches contain what we want to distribute in the dist. Using shirakumo-dist [1], a new release is created with: (asdf:load-system :m-creations-dist) (m-creations-dist::redist) You can then rsync the release/ subdir to a web server and your colleagues can use the release with (ql-dist:install-dist "http://quicklisp.sift.internal/dist1.txt";) Nicolas Hafner pointed me to his shirakumo-dist [1] which in turn uses Quickdist [2] which I took as blueprint for ours [3].
