It helps you load stuff up, along with dependencies. But it doesn’t answer the question, “what cool/useful CCL add-ons have people created”.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Feb 14, 2017, at 8:27 AM, Zach Beane <<a href="mailto:xach@xach.com" class="">xach@xach.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class="">Quicklisp can support multiple sources ("dists") of software.

</span>The obvious solution is to create a parallel ccl-contrib repository on github. Many projects handle contribs in that or similar ways.<br class="">

Quicklisp offers one example of a handy means of compiling and distributing libraries. It's not a solution in itself because Zach understandably wants to keep Quicklisp implementation-agnostic, but maybe one of us could make a small extension to quicklisp that borrows its facilities to easily find and download CCL contribs.<br class="">
<br class="">
Or maybe just having a ccl-contrib repo on Github is enough.<br class="">
