Hello Joerg, Thanks for the hint on CLISP. I’ve naively tried packaging the current snapshot and I’ve run into a little snag or two: lintian complains of:
W: clisp source: outdated-autotools-helper-file src/build-aux/config.guess 2010-04-03 N: N: The referenced file has a time stamp older than April of 2012 and the N: package does not build-depend on autotools-dev or automake and therefore N: apparently does not update it. This usually means that the source N: package will not build correctly on ARM64, for which a Debian port is N: currently in progress, and may not support other newer architectures. => maybe CLISP should also update the auto tools? I can do it as a patch of course… E: clisp-doc: privacy-breach-donation usr/share/doc/clisp/clisp/doc/clisp-link.html (http://images.sourceforge.net/images/project-support.jpg) N: N: This package create a potential privacy breach by fetching data from a N: donation website at runtime. N: N: Please remove this privacy problem and add a note to the N: debian/upstream/metadata file using the donation field. => also here maybe upstream would like to adjust the links used? If not I’ll patch it in the Debian packages. There is a lot of noise because we don’t use hardening. I’ll have to check if CLISP still works then of course ;). > It looks to me like several issues preventing builds of clisp actually arise > from dependencies (libraries to which clisp modules provide an interface), > e.g. ffi, db, gdbm.

There was some discussion about which modules are most > important back in March this year in the clisp-devel ML. At the moment we still have a number of optional modules. The wildcard module went away of course. What are the base modules CLISP? Do you have a pointer to the discussion?
