I see. So, is there a way to install a specific quicklisp dist? My buildscript currently uses the following: sbcl --non-interactive --no-userinit --load quicklisp.lisp --eval "(quicklisp-quickstart:install :path (merge-pathnames \"quicklisp/\" (directory-namestring (truename *default-pathname-defaults*))))" But this seems to fetch the current quicklisp dist. And, related: how long do you provide older versions of the dist? Thanks for all that work - by using quicklisp I was able to drop thew need to create Debian wrappers for 12 lisp packages.
