This isn't really true. <http://www.cliki.net/ASDF-Install> for a fairly
decent list of packages all with an auto-installer. Most of these work
portably across multiple implementations.
Uh, yeah. If you can get ASDF installed.
Hmm. 'emerge cl-asdf' seems to work fine. It's fairly easy on Debian as
well.
What kind of problems did you have with ASDF? All Gentoo does, it put the
following in /etc/gentoo-init.lisp, and them see that each implementation
loads this:
(in-package #:cl-user)
#+(or sbcl ecl) (require :asdf)
#-(or sbcl ecl) (load #p"/usr/share/common-lisp/source/asdf/asdf.lisp")
(push #P"/usr/share/common-lisp/systems/" asdf:*central-registry*)
(push #P"/usr/local/share/common-lisp/systems/" asdf:*central-registry*)
(asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op :asdf-binary-locations)
(setf asdf:*centralize-lisp-binaries* t)
(setf asdf:*source-to-target-mappings* '((#p"/usr/lib/sbcl/" nil)
(#p"/usr/lib64/sbcl/" nil)))
Then you just symlink the .asd files into one of the directories in the
*central-registry* and it'll find them.
The conditional lines are because sbcl and ecl come with ASDF, so it can be
used with "require".
