Hi,
New versions of MOP Feature Tests and Closer to MOP are available. MOP Feature Tests checks whether CLOS MOP features, as specified in "The Art of the Metaobject Protocol", are available in a given Common Lisp implementation. Closer to MOP provides a compatibility layer that irons out some of the incompatibilities across various CLOS MOP implementations.
Highlights of the new versions:
- A number of new implementations are now supported, including Allegro Common Lisp 7.0, CLisp 2.34, CMU CL 19b, LispWorks Professional 4.4.5, Macintosh Common Lisp 5.1, OpenMCL 0.14.3 and SBCL 0.9.3.
- The software is now available as a set of darcs repositories.
- Various fixes in Closer to MOP.
- Added a convenience method ensure-method.
- Switched to an MIT/BSD-style license.
I am using the Closer to MOP compatibility layer for my own software, which consists of non-trivial extensions of CLOS. This has led to overall improvements of stability.
See the project website at http://common-lisp.net/project/closer/ for further details.
Cheers, Pascal

Hello,
Do you think closer-mop is ready to become a debian lisp package? I was thinking of the name cl-closer-mop.

I don't know what the stability requirements for debian packages are. closer-mop works pretty well for the stuff I am working on, so I can recommend its use. However, I cannot guarantee that there are no serious problems. But I feel committed to the project, if that helps.
Please note that closer-mop requires lw-compat, also available from the closer website.
Cheers, Pascal
