I fear that I'm also having quite a bit of RL work to handle and my Debian time is rather limited.

The situation is not helped by CCL being so 'different'. Just getting started by downloading the source is a jarring experience.

I mean a different svn branch per architecture? How can we handle that? Debian expects that we give a 'pristine' tar.gz of upstream, without binaries... Then we get to the 'rebuild gcc' as part of the build part :(.

Still I think you did a lot of good work and having CCL would indeed be cool... I just wish I could be more effective in this :(.

No problem. CCL is indeed idiosyncratic, and the maintainers are not especially helpful, or flexible... The word grouchy comes to mind. Also grumpy.

I was thinking of putting an apt repository of CCL somewhere. That way people can try it out. Alioth seems a natural place, and the folks at #debian-mentors told me that should be possible, Does anyone here have an opinion of a good location for this?

Also, it might be helpful if I could be added to the common lisp group on alioth. Thanks.
