pvaneyndActually clbuild seems to do the right thing almost all the time.
I've been trying it as a workaround to suggest to users after I remove most of the Common Lisp libraries from Debian. Honestly it is pretty good: you download it, you ask it to install libraries an it will download them from their git/cvs/darcs/whatever repositories. You can ask it to upgrade the libraries or to compile and start slime with the libraries 'known' to asdf.
All in all quite good, even if there is a conflict between the slime in clbuild and the slime from the Debian package.
I think I can suggest this to Debian users without reservations...
Now: why didn't I see more of this on planet.lisp ?
