Re: Common Lisp and OpenBSD
I appreciate all the help. I'll continue this discussion in the ports mailing list so I don't clutter misc.

Dear Programmer, I am not going to tell you what to do, but if I had enough free time to consider such projects, I would go and ask if Quicklisp project needs some help from me (in case you do not know, it is a package installer for Common Lisp). https://www.quicklisp.org/beta/ http://blog.quicklisp.org/2018/10/october-2018-quicklisp-dist-update-now.html Zach Beane is the author (it seems) and is doing enormous job. It looks like in best case you would be replicating his work, which, with all due respect to OpenBSD, might get ignored if you cannot keep up with updating ports at his speed. I, for one example, would rather stick with quicklisp, because it is going to work everywhere when CL is installed (well, mostly). While I have never done it, I guess making one system wide quicklisp install is easy to do, probably just add user and have his quicklisp files word- or group readable. And have users read this guy's setup.lisp from quicklisp install. And quicklisp allows me to keep using old versions of installed libs, which ports cannot give me, AFAICT. This one feature is worth going QL way. At least to me.

There is no point in doing ports for CL libraries if it's not used by a port. We already have a few CL software in ports, and none requires ported libs: - net/clic uses no lib - sysutils/cl-launch uses no lib - sysutils/reed-alert uses no lib - x11/spectrwm uses no lib - x11/stumpwm uses 2 libs which are downloaded before compiling the port and then, stumpwm is compiled as a binary, including the libs I already been thinking about packaging some libs but I found no software to port to use them. If a software would requires too much libs, it may be easier (as we do for go packages) to use quicklisp to create a folder embedding the libraries, and use that tarball for compiling it. I also had patches for lang/sbcl and lang/ecl to add a system wide folder into the asdf loading path in case we wanted to port libs see https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&m=147983440719241&w=2

Common Lisp and OpenBSD
There don't seem to be any Common Lisp libraries available as packages. I'd be interested in packaging the most common and mature Common Lisp libraries, but I'm not certain who I'd discuss this with. I'd appreciate any help with getting started contributing to OpenBSD.
