Re: SLIME 2.17 and macrostep on MELPA stable: needs 0.9, only 0.8 available?

Slime ships macrostep.el, so, how come MELPA doesn't like it? (I don't use MELPA).
In slime.el, there is:
;; Package-Requires: ((cl-lib "0.5") (macrostep "0.9")) So then it becomes a bit silly, no point in bundling a package if it can't be used. I would say MELPA should just have the latest macrostep.

The bundled version is there for people that don't use MELPA.

It does, but for some reason 0.9 wasn't tagged so it doesn't show up in the stable collection. Should be fixed soon: https://github.com/joddie/macrostep/issues/13 (That issue looks like it was opened by Georges, actually.) -- Luís Oliveira http://kerno.org/~luis/
