More importantly, we keep matching versions of swank and slime in our version control system. If you want to attach to a server, make sure you're using the appropriate SLIME. This way we could debug years-old production servers using obsolete versions of SWANK, if only we had any.
We do the same thing.
This seems like the thread in which to ask whether anyone has found a straightforward way to switch Slime versions without restarting Emacs. Right now I usually have (under screen) one instance of Emacs for personal projects (for which I try to use the latest Slime and Swank) and one for work (where they do not get updated so frequently), and sometimes I need to start a third instance if I am doing work on an older maintenance branch of the software. It seems like there should be a way to switch between Slime versions within the same running Emacs, but I have yet to figure it out.
