I'd definitely love to see a Quicklisp package for Debian. I think this could be well aligned with the fact that many CL packages are being retired because of the desire of focusing efforts on implementations and some essential packages (I also agree with this approach). > > How about a Debian 'quicklisp' package which: > > 1. installs a Lisp if neccessary (or if requested) Not sure that the package needs to worry about installing a Lisp. Perhaps just require the lisp-compiler virtual package. > Essentially a simple script, the choices I'm thinking of giving the user > include: > > 1. Lisp implementaion > > 2. Site-wide installation (or user home directory). I'd say that the essential contribution of the package would be to support a site-wide, admin-controlled installation of Quicklisp packages. Quicklisp already handles very well the installation for unprivileged users. However, I'm a relatively new lisper. It'd be ideal to know what the more experienced maintainers think. -- Paulo _______________________________________________ pkg-common-lisp-devel mailing list pkg-common-lisp-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-common-lisp-devel
