Hello, firstly, I don't know where I can send this message, so sorry if
this is the wrong place.
Clisp (an ANSI Common Lisp interpreter) hadn't received a new release
since 2010-07-07 and the last update on the extra repo was on
2019-01-11, so I thought as we have others better options than Clisp,
like sbcl on the extra repo, that has an active development, may be
better if the Clisp package is removed from the arch repositories.
I'm not sure what you mean by this since the clisp version we package is
built from this 2018 code:
https://gitlab.com/gnu-clisp/clisp/commit/8934707712fc87a5dbe9c4387440ed024525b38a
The most recent commit to the project is from 3 weeks ago.
I didn't know about this repository on GitLab, but if you go to the
official Clisp site (https://www.gnu.org/software/clisp/), you will see
that the latest version (2.49) was released on 2010-07-07.
That's correct, if you look at the official site it states the source
code hosting location is sourceforge, and the latest commit to the
sourceforge repository added this file:
https://sourceforge.net/p/clisp/clisp/ci/default/tree/00_REPOSITORY_HAS_MOVED
Since sourceforge has an hgweb instance which is less gross than their
custom VCS browser, take a look at the revision history here:
http://hg.code.sf.net/p/clisp/clisp
The version that Arch Linux packages, by the way, is a beta release.
Which is forgivable since the alternative is missing out on almost a
full decade of improvements. ;)
