I am looking for references on software version management in Lisp. I would be delighted to find a sophisticated system, tailored for Lisp, but any information will be appreciated. Since my interest is for the design of such a system, a technical proposal would be of equal value to a manual of a product that's actually being marketed. I have used DEFSYSTEM in ZetaLisp release 6: nice, but quite conventional. Since then, Symbolics has surely not been idle? I remember reading, five years ago, about a system called Common Lisp Framework (?) being developed at ISI. Did anything come out of it? E-mail or post, as you wish, I will be very grateful for any pointers. Pekka P.

I have used DEFSYSTEM in ZetaLisp release 6: nice, but quite conventional. Since then, Symbolics has surely not been idle? I have been developing a common lisp portable defsystem macro for managing (compiling/loading) systems of files. It is a superset of the Symbolics system construction tool, and is rather featureful. I haven't fully torture-tested it, but am using it for my own work. I'm still adding features as well. Would there be interest in my posting a copy of the sources and documentation to the net? If so, what newsgroup? --mark
