To get this update, use (ql:update-dist "quicklisp").

To install exactly this update, use (ql-dist:install-dist "http://beta.quicklisp.org/dist/quicklisp/2015-01-13/distinfo.txt" :replace t).

This Quicklisp update is supported by my employer, Clozure Associates. If you need commercial support for Quicklisp, or any other Common Lisp programming needs, it's available via Clozure Associates.

Client update available: silent mode, improved system manifests, and more

Yesterday I uploaded a new version of the Quicklisp client code. (The client is the software responsible for fetching and managing Quicklisp-provided libraries.)

To get the update, use (ql:update-client).

Here's what's new:

• ql:quickload has a new :silent option. When true, ql:quickload produces no printed output to *standard-output*. Thanks to Aaron France for implementing it.
• ql:write-asdf-manifest-file now includes systems from the local-projects directories. Thanks to André Miranda for fixing issue #83 by implementing it. The old behavior is available by using new new :exclude-local-projects argument.
• ql-minitar now understands pax extended file headers. Library archives that have files with very long names (currently only Antik) are now unpacked properly.
• ql-dist:clean no longer tries to delete file pathnames as though they were directories.

Enjoy!
