common-lisp-controller problems
It seems some users tried to get help for clc via cliki. Too bad I didn't pay so much attention to that page lately.
So I published the clc package on alioth a bit more and created two mailing-lists for people to subscribe to. In 6 to 24 hours they should get created.
Most people complain of a lack of RPM's or the ease of adding local packages. The problem with the latter is that I don't have a rh system, nor do I wish to create one. And build farms don't seem to exist. The problem with the last issue is deeper. asdf-install doesn't define user specific system directories for any implementation that isn't sbcl. So to 'fix' clc we have to modify asdf-install or make the world more complex by dividing them in clc-enabled (with user packages) and non-clc-enabled (no user pacakges unless you run sbcl). Sigh.
Let's make it a point to chat about on sunday...
Actually users complaining means that I have users! Good >:-).
