The only run-time errors that I have encountered are in the CGI piece, with a call to a NOP in acl-compat, and then when that was fixed, a call to read-vector. I stopped worrying about those when I realized that I can do my thing without CGI. The CGI stuff probably never gets used any more (and therefore hasn’t been noticed). A few other errors do show up during the compile - as they didn’t seem to affect me, I have ignored them. But there does appear to have been some drift over the years.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Is Franz likely to care about the fate of portable aserve? or about who owns, or where is located, the “authoritative branch”. Is there a way to get quicklisp to look at that authoritative branch? Though my first programming rodeo was a long time ago, this is my first Lisp rodeo, and I don’t know whether those are simple, or tricky questions. I’d happy to help sort it out, if necessary.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">As someone new to this area, it is fairly confusing to find such a paucity of traceable, recent activity in the Lisp arena (those old sourceforge archives), in the normal on-line pursuit of information. The impression is moribund rather than mature. And that’s happening while the relevance and influence of Lisp are just exploding - check out Scala and closures, for example. Sorry to rant - I’m sure I’m preaching to the choir.</div><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Feb 8, 2016, at 10:05 AM, Dave Cooper <<a href="mailto:david.cooper@genworks.com" class="">david.cooper@genworks.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><br class=""><div class="">We have been using the quicklisp version of aserve (which I believe is sourced from Sourceforge git) for years, and it's been working acceptably for years for our purposes.
