Fairly up-to-date slime packages are also in our Darcs repositories
Ok, I must confess that I completely missed it and your *huge* work. Next time I will check more carefully before sending emails. I promise.
Well, that splitting of slime and cl-swank for a distributed system sounds interesting (to me), like it is seen in one of the videos on common-lisp.net. You can probably send your changes to our Slime repository. :-)
I worked on it, and I've just sent a patch to the maintainer (pvaneynd@debian.org). I can forward it here too, if needed. While making swank more common-lisp-controller-friendly, I've noticed that xref.lisp (the file that makes Slime non-free) is actually needed only when using GNU CLisp. I've tested Slime with cmucl and sbcl, and it seems to work fine even without that file. Maybe xref.lisp could be removed from Slime deb sources, thus dropping GNU CLisp support, but making the package free. Is it feasible? I can work on it and send a patch, if you think it's worth.
