Most of the time it works ok, but sometimes it doesn't. I'd like to improve the situation, but it takes time.
I see. So, is there a way to install a specific quicklisp dist? My buildscript currently uses the following:
sbcl --non-interactive --no-userinit --load quicklisp.lisp --eval "(quicklisp-quickstart:install :path (merge-pathnames "quicklisp/" (directory-namestring (truename *default-pathname-defaults*))))"
But this seems to fetch the current quicklisp dist. And, related: how long do you provide older versions of the dist?
Thanks for all that work - by using quicklisp I was able to drop thew need to create Debian wrappers for 12 lisp packages.
