So if you are an active SLIME user and you have a moment then please reply to this mail (send the reply to the list).
Questions:
Which Lisp versions do you use SLIME with?
SBCL cvs and CMUCL 18e
Which Emacs versions?
GNU Emacs 21.3.50 (cvs, multi-tty branch).
How well does SLIME work for you?
Almost without fault, the occaisional small bugs I find seem to be problems with either Emacs (e.g. a change in rename-buffer), or the lisps (e.g. some backtrace frames being unavailable in SBCL).
What bugs (reproducible or otherwise) or missing features annoy you?
I also think hitting RET on old REPL input should resend it. Other than that, I can't think of much.
Is there some packaging system (e.g. Debian) that you would like to see SLIME 1.0 bundled with? If so, do you know how to coordinate this?
I'm not a big fan of the Debian Emacs packaging, but, otoh, it does deal relatively easily with multiple installed versions. It's quite easy to do though, I can probably have a look at it when I've unpacked boxes if people like.
If you said anything negative above then please say something nice here to make us feel good:
SLIME Just Works, which is nice.
