Hi,

I've been following this review for some time now as I'm not aware of any
existing self-executable CL-based packages in Fedora besides CL implementations
themselves so this could well be the very first one; I would like to see things
learned from the review in the wiki as I'm going to package CL stuff myself
sometime in the future and I find the existing Lisp-related guidelines sparse;
e.g. I'd conclude from what is written down right now that providing
self-executable Lisp machines that are not the original implementations
themselves is impossible, instead it looks like Lisp is treated like scripting
languages in Fedora (which is - of course - utterly wrong) since the guidelines
force use of cl- prefixes for both libs (OK) and programs (bad) and source code
distribution only. I could be wrong here since the guidelines mentions
"Libraries and Programs" in the headline but doesn't refer to the latter in the
following body.

Source:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Lisp#Guidelines_for_Libraries_and_Programs_written_in_Common_Lisp

Would you mind starting a discussion about this in fedora-devel? I'd really
like to see this resolved in an official manner and make Lisp-based projects
first-level citizens in Fedora.
