I'm just probably confused by how clc is supposed to work.

I hadn't read http://www.cliki.net/common-lisp-controller in a while,
and had not seen the information on v4, or the webpage or mailing lists.

If clc managed user registered packages the same as system packages, it
would certainly save me a lot of grief, especially since system packages
are automatically recompiled when the implementation version
changes. The system wide fasl cache is now per-user, so user fasls could
be placed into the same cache, couldn't they? Actually, I see that clc
v3 used to keep user fasls in ~/.clc/bin, according to (Liam Healy)?
That's what I thought I remembered as well.

I switched to your slime packages so I wouldn't forget to recompile it
when I updated sbcl. I would have kept the old breezy sbcl and slime,
but I really wanted slime presentations to work.

c-l-c was designed to be cross-platform at one point, and works with
asdf files, but doesn't use asdf-install. On debian, dependencies are
handled by apt, not c-l-c. What would it take to make a clc +
asdf-install solution that worked everywhere? On the cliki page you
mention having to add a copyright file to the asdf-install format. I
think dependencies will have to be recorded as well. If the garden is
going to host asdf-installable packages, we may as well try to get them
to contain enough information to make generating a debian or ubuntu
package automatically.
