After some consideration I must conclude that the state of the Common

forming the pkg-common-lisp team was that I would not be a
bottleneck, as RL is inflicting more and more damage to my 'Debian
playtime'.

Now that Luca left I'm basically the only 'active' (for very small
values of active) DD/DM left. (no hard feeling towards anybody, just
loads of thanks for the work they did)

I see two alternatives:


    * other people get involved, investigating bugs and sending
    git/darcs/whatever format patches.

    * we go low impact and remove common-lisp-controller and all
    Common Lisp libraries, and I/we only package the lisp
    implementations (clisp, ecl, sbcl, cmucl and perhaps ccl) without
    any special changes

I don't expect the first alternative to be realistic, so unless
proven wrong I'll RFA/RM all the libraries/clc on the 5th of
September.

Hi folks,

I am currently somewhat on the team but have not done anything. The main issue I have is darcs, I just find it waay to problematic to use. If the packages were moved to say git or svn I might be able to pick up some of the slack (though I am no lisp expert by any stretch :( ).

Thanks,

Barry deFreese
