What would be the value of having library available as OpenBSD package instead of manually installing or using the Quicklisp package manager? In my experience there seems to be breaking changes in each update of Quicklisp already. I'd say that if you want to help Common Lisp ecosystem you should focus on Quicklisp and help the libraries themselves to work properly on OpenBSD. Timo
