I request assistance with maintaining SBCL in Debian. It is the most popular Free Software compiler for Common Lisp. So, most anyone who is interested in both Debian and Common Lisp is likely interested in SBCL, too. The upstream project is stable but seems relatively often to introduce changes that break our packaging scripts. Possibly there should be an attempt made to simplify how we do things. This would be good for a new contributor to Debian who is otherwise experienced with bootstrapping compilers / development environments. You definitely don't need to be a Debian Developer to help. The package description is: SBCL is a development environment for the ANSI Common Lisp language. It provides a native-code compiler and an integrated debugger, as well as all the features in the ANSI specification. . SBCL also contains other extensions to the ANSI specification, including a foreign-function interface, a pseudo-server API, user-extensible stream functionality, a Meta-Object Protocol, and an ability to run external processes. . To browse SBCL source definitions with development environments, install the sbcl-source package. For documentation on SBCL's usage and internals, the package sbcl-doc is provided. -- Sean Whitton
